Coimbra è la terza città portoghese più grande lungo il Cammino e offre tutti i servizi e numerose opzioni di alloggio, ma non ci sono ancora albergues specifici per i pellegrini... a parte il Convento di Santa Clara sull'altra sponda del fiume.

Se non soggiorni qui, evita la tentazione di saltare il percorso attraverso la città; un po' di esplorazione è d'obbligo. Afonso Henriques, primo re del Portogallo, è nato qui ed è sepolto nel Monastero di Santa Cruz. Lo stesso vale per il suo figlio maggiore Sancho I. Ha due cattedrali, distinte con i nomi di Sé Nova e Sé Velha. La Vecchia è molto romanica, mentre la Nuova è barocca e manierista ed è ornata dalle statue di Sant'Ignazio, Sant'Aloysius Gonzaga, San Francesco Saverio e San Francesco di Borja. I santi furono collocati dai gesuiti che costruirono (iniziarono) la chiesa, ma una volta che furono espulsi dal Portogallo divenne la Cattedrale e fu completata con Pietro e Paolo in primo piano.

Festività

Fuochi d'artificio il 4 luglio, in occasione della celebrazione della Regina Elisabetta del Portogallo.

Storia

Coimbra è stata la capitale del Portogallo durante il XII e il XIII secolo, ha perso importanza a favore del porto di Lisbona ma ha guadagnato invece l'Università di Coimbra che rimane la più antica università del mondo di lingua portoghese.

Il cammino

Se vuoi passare per Coimbra, gira a sinistra dopo aver attraversato il ponte e inizia a seguire la passeggiata sul fiume. Passerà sotto l'autostrada e poi devierà a destra per costeggiare un canale (alla tua sinistra).

Mantieni questa strada asfaltata attraverso una rotatoria e presto avrai un altro canale sulla destra. Rimane una strada dritta fino a poco prima di Adémia da Baixo, dove gira a sinistra. Attraversa il Rio Velho a destra per entrare in Adémia.

Cinghiale e ossa straordinari al ristorante Zé Manel dos Ossos a Coimbra. Prenota in anticipo o arriva ben prima dell'apertura alle 19:30. Solo 7 tavoli, ma il cibo è favoloso e il servizio è eccellente

Ho avuto un ottimo massaggio sportivo con Luis Filipe presso A+Therapia a Coimbra. Ha davvero alleviato i miei dolori e i fastidi. Assolutamente consigliato

Un soggiorno molto piacevole per 2 notti per 77 euro.
Buona cucina e bagni. Molto pulito.
Situato sul percorso verso Santiago de Compostella e Fatima

We came from Fatima by bus.
There is a great place right next to the station called Bus Station suites. It's about 23 euros, but has a kitchenette. It is directly on the camino route and just a 15 minute walk to the city centre.

I had a great pilgram massage at A+Terapia in coimbra - very professional with a great grasp of all things sports massage related.

I wrote a long yet fair comment about this albergue because we did not have a great experience there but it seems to have been deleted. I would not recommend this albergue unless you want the host in your business trying to mansplain and give you unsolicited advice at all hours of the day.

Great central location, clean new feel. Single beds, but they’re that close you might as well be in a double bed, especially if snorer beside you! Wi-Fi coverage was very poor

We arrived early because one of my family members had a knee injury and we wanted to leave our bags. The first man let us check in early and was very sweet and helpful. He wrote down our info and let us leave our bags.

When we came back later, a second man named Vitor greeted us and immediately made us re-write our information down saying that the police would come for us if any of the details were wrong. He also said we needed two stamps per day from Coimbra or we would be denied a Compostela (I’ve been told this is not true.)

Later, Vitor proceeded to hang about the common area and give the pilgrims lots of highly questionable, unsolicited advice about the Camino, injuries, blisters, footwear etc. It seemed like he wanted everyone to know how intelligent he was.

He did help one pilgrim with her sore knee by rubbing it with menthol cream. It was very sweet but also seemed to make her mildly uncomfortable.

He entered the room of all females without knocking and began to tell a physio that her professional opinion was incorrect. He should know because his family owns a clinic. He also mocked me for “being on my phone” even though I was booking accommodation for my family. This whole situation made the group of pilgrims very uncomfortable.

He was nice other than the mockery, conversational entrapment, unsolicited advice, uncomfortable lurking, and lack of boundaries.

The Albergue is simple but very beautiful with a lovely courtyard view of the Roman wall. The kitchen facilities were great and there were lots of sunny clotheslines to dry washing. The bed smelled like mold, but it was a very restful sleep for all. I would not recommend for female travelers as Vitor made us feel uncomfortable. I would not stay there again because I felt like I spent most of the day trying to avoid being sucked into Vitor’s incessant talking about himself.

Zero in hospitality When the pilgrims are already in bed, a man walks into the rooms, he has become aggressive when asked who he was and what he wanted. Zero respect for rest and privacy. I do not recommend it at all, it is worth spending a few more euros in a private one with respect for pilgrims and freedom of movement, they close the doors at 6:30 p.m. You can agree with them to enter at 9 or 10, then a man comes at the agreed time to open.
