Alpriate

Alpriate is a small town in the northern suburbs of Lisbon, marking the end of the first day's walking on the Camino Portugues from Lisbon. The walk to reach Alpriate is largely urban, following the Tagus River estuary through Lisbon's sprawling northern outskirts.

Services are basic, with a few cafes and small shops. Accommodation options are limited and may require booking ahead. The town itself is unremarkable but serves its purpose as a first-night stopping point.

Pilgrims should be aware that the Lisbon-to-Porto section has significantly fewer albergues and services than the more popular Porto-to-Santiago section. Planning accommodation ahead is advisable on this stretch.
