Services

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 Camino:

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.
