Discover Santarém
Santarém, a historic city nestled on a plateau with views of the majestic River Tagus, is one of the most significant stops in the early stages of the Portuguese Way from Lisbon. Known as "The Gothic Capital," it offers pilgrims a rich monumental heritage that testifies to its importance in Portugal's history. Its old town is filled with churches and convents that are an authentic lesson in art, highlighting the Igreja da Graça, where Pedro Álvares Cabral's tomb can be found, the discoverer of Brazil. For walkers, the Jardim das Portas do Sol is a must-see; a natural balcony offering breathtaking panoramic views of the River Tagus and the Lezía plain, a perfect spot for contemplation and rest. Santarém is an important service center on the route, with hostels and a cuisine that reflects the region's wealth in Ribatejo. It's an stage that combines the effort of the trail with a deep cultural enrichment, an immersion in Portuguese Gothic at the heart of the Way of St. James.
