Notice

The expectation is that you walk on the left side of the road, against oncoming traffic. For this reason, the arrows are more abundant and easier to see from the left side of the road. Keep an eye out for them on traffic and electric posts.

History

Alverca was the home of Portugal’s first International Airport until the 1940’s when Lisbon opened its replacement. To fill the void left by its departure, they built the Museu do Ar, which as aviation museums go ranks pretty high. It also has a stamp.

The Road

When approaching Alverca, keep an eye out for the Air Museum on your right-hand side. Opposite it is the pedestrian bridge over the railway that you will need to cross over into town. 

Follow the arrows and Fatima signs and to the N10. It is a busy road but with wide berms.

Checked in at around midday. At first the door was locked but there is an intercom on the door you can push and someone will answer.
The man is very friendly and gave us a twin room with a shared bathroom for €20 each.
After a long walk from Lisbon it’s a nice clean place to arrive at. Clean towels and fresh bedding.

Plenty of stores around to grab supplies.

Try the restaurant across the street called ‘A Lanterna’ it’s just a few metres away from Alfa10. The food is cheap but good!

Home cooked Portugues food just around the corner from Alfa 10. The friendly English speaking staff can help you decipher the menu. I had the traditional Portuguese cabbage soup (1.5 Euro). They also have a large selection of pastries and coffee for your early morning start.

I may be the only person staying at Alfa 10 tonight. Only saw one pilgrim on the long walk through the estuary today.

Messaged alfa10 the night before and they sorted us a room - was pleasant. Not an issue, but something to be aware of, the start of the route back to Camino was a half hour away for us, something to plan into your timings!

Tried Alfa10 first but it was full. Restaurante A Lanterna across the street had beds available for €25. I was in a big room with three beds and a bathroom and since no one else showed up I had it all to myself. Very clean. I went downstairs for a delicious and very filling meal, including soup and a dessert was €10.50.

Alpha 10 was booked full when I showed up. No help finding a place, I had to go 2 towns up another 16km at the end of a long day.

After a long day of walking around 30km, we didn't have any reservation and we didn't know where to sleep (because our planned accommodation was closed). We decided to call to Alfa 10 (around 16.00) and the guy who picked up was very helpful, he said he still has free room and it can be ready for us immediately. When we came there, we wanted a room for two with shared bathroom (40€), the guy was so nice that he "upgraded" our room and he gave us room with private bathroom. The room was clean, with towels and bedsheets, free WiFi. The bathroom was also in a good condition. The only thing what I missed was kitchen and some place to dry my clothes (but other than that, everything was good). The location of Alfa 10 is great, it is located close to the shopping centre.
