Zambujeira do Mar - Odeceixe 

About this hike

Departing Zambujeira’s cliff‑top chapel, walkers traverse fragrant lentiscus scrub toward tiny Carvalhal and Machados beaches, then trace ochre cliffs above secret lagoons. Blue‑winged kingfishers flash past as the route culminates at Odeceixe river mouth, where tidal channels split a photogenic sandbar between Alentejo and Algarve landscapes beneath dramatically whitewashed windmills.
