For a true camino experience, call Dona Joana in advance on +351 961 687 306 and arrange to stay with her in Sao Miguel de Machede. She has set up a remarkable pilgrim annex in her backyard as a donativo — a room with a double bed and two bunk beds, an attached bathroom, and a basic outdoor kitchen for cooking. It's a handy option as there aren't many places to eat out.

The village has limited services beyond Joana's hospitality.

The Road

During the first part of the next stage to Azaruja, there's a gate that is often closed. Joana will make a point of trying to arrange for it to be opened, but if you have to climb it, it's not that hard.

The shed of Joana is not really recommendable in winter time. It is humid and cold, even with a small heater. The outdoor kitchen is not an option in winter, one can not cook. Try to arrange a meal in cafe Verandas.
There is a taxi ( number in the small office next tintje church) in case of need. 00 351 966 939 168

The signs of the camino are very clear!
If it has been raining the path is sometimes muddy, but possible to do.
