Today’s stage is a “frontier” one, which means that it connects the Ribatejo region with the central region of Portugal, ending in the city of Tomar, after about 30 km of journey. To leave Golegã, we cross the village along Rua D. Afonso Henriques, followed by Rua Dr. Branco, to the outskirts of the city. We cross the national road N243 and take the sand path straight ahead until it ends in a narrow rural road. We turn left and face a few flat kilometers flanked by extensive cornfields and plantations that take advantage of the fertile land on this Tejo riverbank. Before arriving to Quinta da Cardiga, the small village of São Caetano welcomes us with some places that deserve our brief passage, including a hostel for pilgrims and the Ermida de São Caetano hermitage. From now on, we continue the Path to the north, to the village of Pedregoso, the final point of the Caminho de Santiago Central in the Alentejo and Ribatejo. Next, we enter the municipality of Vila Nova da Barquinha and the central region of Portugal. Have a good Path!
