The very literate looking bronze man in the square is Jose Saramago, the ‘98 Nobel-laureate and son of Azinhaga.

The Road

The camino follows the main road all the way to the end of town where there is a roundabout with a bullfighter statue in the center. Keep straight here, passing through Broa.

Turn right at the next T-intersection and follow the road all the way to Golegã.

A lovely family and place to stay in Azinhaga. Space for 4 pilgrims, and they offer dinner and breakfast. Simple but clean and comfortable. Donations accepted. They have two cats and a friendly dog. House isn’t marked, but on the main road, blue and White House as shown on Google maps. Owners have completed multiple Camino routes and are very knowledgeable.

Was hesitant given other reviews, but had quick and friendly service in Cafe Central, and delicious ham/cheese toastie and coffee for lunch! We recommend :)

We stayed at Casa de Azzancha September 28th. It was easy to get to it as there are signs as you enter town guiding you. It was easy to pick up the route when we left. The facility is nice and tremendously welcoming and helpful hostess. She even made reservations for us at the restaurant which by the way had the best dessert and we he wine was decent. The hostess provided us with transportation to and from the restaurant. Nice play to stay.

We took the route via the highway and since it was Sunday morning, did not find it an unpleasant experience.

First time I ordered an uber on whole camino to avoid yet another horrible road experience. Worth it for 7 euros!

We stopped here today after 26km of walking. We were hesitant to go to the cafe based on the comments but they are the only location open in town. We decided to not walk the 7 km to Golega based on the comments on line. The local gentleman in the cafe were more than helpful in aiding us in securing a cab to Golega. At one point 3 of them were on the phone trying to book a cab for us

I stopped here for a coffee and sparkling water. I felt incredibly unwelcome, even when I smiled, waved and said boa trade the lady behind the bar and customers just stared at me. The bar lady even stopped serving me to go and serve other customers. No one returned a smile. Very rude. (P.S aside from the bar lady, I was the only other woman to about 12 men)

Cafe Central’s employees and customers have perfected the art of making you feel unwelcome. You are not wanted here.

Another comment here mentions having problems here because of the language (English). I was speaking Portuguese. They made sure I left quickly.

After the bridge turn left to the fields, it is not marked on the map but you can see it clearly outlined on Google maps. Only adds 1.5km and is much more enjoyable and safer. Not marked for the Camino but easy to follow

Edit 1 to the alternate road between Az & Golega: the roads are shown on the Wise app map. Caminho 1 Lazaros to Rossios Longos will take you to the edge of town.

The alternate road between Azhinaga and Golega is easy to find if you use google maps for a walking route between the two towns. After the River Almonde, take the next road to the left. It adds 15 minutes to your walk.
