Azambuja

Azambuja is a Portuguese village in the Ribatejo region, a peaceful stop on the Central Portuguese Way. Its surroundings, dominated by fertile Tajo plain, are predominantly agricultural, with vast fields of cultivation. For pilgrims, Azambuja offers a peaceful rest and basic services needed to continue the journey. The parish church and its pelourinho (picota) are the main landmarks of its modest heritage. It is an intermediate stage that allows the walker to enjoy the calm of the countryside, experience rural life in Portugal, and recharge in an authentic setting, away from major tourist centers.
