Fifth day on the Portuguese Way of St. James, from Golegã to the Templar village of Tomar. To leave Golegã we take the R. João de Deus to the roundabout that connects with the CM1183 road, with little vehicle traffic but no hard shoulder, which leads to São Caetano. From here, in little more than 500m, we find the Quinta da Cardiga, donated to the Order of the Templars by D. Afonso Henriques, which eventually became the property of the Order of Christ. King Philip II stayed here for 10 days on his return from his coronation as Philip I of Portugal.
A dirt track takes us past the Quinta da Lameira, (17th-18th century) towards Vila Nova da Barquinha, which we cross carefully over the railway track. We continue along Rua Dom Afonso Henriques, with several water fountains, to the village of Atalaia, with its Manueline church, built by the Count of Cantanhede in 1528.
We continue along the N110, and after about 500m we take a turn-off to the right that takes us into the mountains. We have almost 6 km of small slopes surrounded by eucalyptus trees ahead of us, in a walk that seems pleasant after the great plains of the first few days.
Along Rua Nossa Senhora dos Caminhos we reach Asseiceira, which has the D. Dinis pilgrims' hostel and a place to rest and have a drink. The church, built by the Counts of Atalaia at the beginning of the 16th century, is dedicated to Our Lady of the Purification. At the exit of the village we come across traffic signs made of concrete, curious!
It is now time to follow the N110, paying attention to the traffic, with stretches that only have pavements on one side of the road, until we pass under the A-23 and take the turn-off to the right onto a dirt track, parallel to the railway line, which heads towards Tomar. This is another pleasant stretch of walking until we return to the tarmac and reach the crossroads that separates the pilgrims. To the right, on the N110, the bicigrinos, and to the left those on foot, on a secondary road with little traffic but no hard shoulder, covering some 600 m extra.
Before entering Tomar we pass by the Chapel of São Lourenço, with its tiled panel symbolising the union of the armies of D. Nuno Álvares Pereira and Mestre de Avis, before the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385.
Finally we arrive at the Plaza de la República, where the church of San Juan Bautista is located. The city of Tomar was founded by Gualdim Pais, Grand Master of the Order of the Temple in Portugal.

Muy bonita la cerámica portuguesa... parece una etapa larga y cañera. Un camino más para la buchaca😂😂

Es muy importante en Portugal la cultura del azulejo. Al menos esta etapa tenía algún desnivel en el monte, después de las etapas de llanura aluvial. Gracias por comentar!!😉
