The walk from Zambujeira do Mar to Odeceixe is an 18.5 km (11.5 mi) stage of the Fishermen\u2019s Trail<\/a> along the Rota Vicentina in Portugal and is one of my favorite days on the route. Starting the walk with spectacular sea views the beautiful ocean scenery continues for the first 14 kilometers. \u00a0Another challenging day on the trail with about 8km walking on sand, but I found the stage less demanding than the deep, loose sand of the previous stages. The\u00a0Seixe River<\/strong>\u00a0is also a scenic section, even though you walk on the road for the last 4 km, it is not a busy road. Just before Odeceixe, the Fishermen\u2019s Trail crosses the Ribeira de Seixe from the Alentejo region into the Algarve.<\/p>\n

Odeceixe is not at the beach, if you prefer to stay closer to the beach you can walk 3 km\/1.8 mi extra to Praia de Odeceixe, a tiny place with a couple of hotels and restaurants. This beautiful little settlement is on the next stage towards Aljezur.<\/p>\n
