Stage
Vila Franca de Xira → Azambuja
20 km +30m
Ease of walking: Mostly flat to gently rolling roads and some suburban pavements; straightforward for most walkers.
The first stage leaves Lisbon’s suburbs and crosses agricultural plains into Azambuja, a practical early stop. Pilgrims traverse suburban roads and open fields with easy access to services on arrival.
Scenery
Urban edge gives way to Ribatejo farmland, vineyards and wide river plains.
Points of interest along the way
- • Igreja Matriz de Azambuja

Water along the Camino
Pilgrims will find drinking water fountains (fuentes), public taps and springs in most villages and at points along the way. In summer and on remote stretches, carry enough water between stops as gaps can be long.
