Details of this retreat

Join us on a five-day pilgrimage to Fátima, walking one of the most breathtaking sections of the Camino Portuguese - Fatima - and even to Santiago de Compostela. the few pilgrims that dare to walk this path by themselves say that the stretch from Coimbra to Fátima is the most beautiful part of the entire route—winding through peaceful countryside, and historic Roman paths. Casa da Lima happens to be right along this ancient trail!

However, the lesser-known route between Coimbra and Fátima is quiet and raw; No albergues or cafés along the way from our place after Ansiao towards Fatima. No food, no clear places to stop. Quite scary to take off, especially when you are in a different country. That’s exactly why we created this 6-day mindful pilgrimage, to offer a safe, supported version of the real experience. You still walk the full route, but we arrange the pickups, food, and overnights so you can walk peacefully, without stress or discomfort and without a big bag pack. The second unique thing: Mindful yoga stretching after every walk, which will relax your muscles. And before going to bed, a mindful meditation body scan will make you aware of every part of your body, aching or non-aching.

Directions

Casa da Lima is conveniently located between Porto and Lisbon, near Coimbra. If you're driving, simply follow the IC2 towards Porto or Lisbon, depending where you land. For those using public transport, frequent buses run to Coimbra. From the airport, take the metro to the bus or train station, then continue to Coimbra. Because we are in a tiny village, we offer pick-up and drop-off in Coimbra for an extra fee, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey. If you need help with finding bus tickets from the airport to Coimbra, we will help out.
