Fátima routes
Lisbon, Santarém, Fátima; Ansião, Fátima

Route map

The Centro Nacional de Cultura is developing pilgrimage routes to Fátima, waymarked with blue arrows: one from Lisbon largely along the river Tejo is complete (there is an overview on the tourist board site), and one from Porto is under development. A guide to the Lisbon route, Caminho do Tejo/Caminho de Fátima, is published by Readers Digest and available from the CNC.
The routes are coincident with the Caminho Português between Lisbon and Santarém and between Ansião and Porto; see that page for details on the latter section.
