Day 4: ZAMBUJEIRA DO MAR – ODECEIXE – 21km – 5h
A coastal path near the beaches leads us onto Carvalhal bay, past the former residence of the famous "fado" singer Amália Rodrigues passing "Azenha do Mar" where you can try an amazing seafood meal (the arbour is just 300 meters distance from the restaurant).

Accomodation: in a Small Guesthotel.

Day 5: ODECEIXE – ST TEOTONIO – 17km – 4h

Day 6: ST TEOTONIO – ODEMIRA – 19km – 5h

*Day 7: ODEMIRA – VILA NOVA DE MILFONTES – 16km – 4-5h
Following the river Mira banks you will discover a very good area to watch birds like eagles and falcons, you just have to follow the old rise fields direction to the Village of Troviscais, then you just need to give us a call and we will provide you transportation back to Vila Nova de Milfontes (30minutes).
Accomodation: in a Small Guesthotel
*it´s also possible to replace this last for another route near the coast line, because some times in November it stays a litle bit muddy, so we offer you the following alternative:

PORTO COVO- VILA NOVA DE MILFONTES – 16km – 4h
We will take you to the start of this wonderful walking along the coastline always with an amazing sea view. Starting in a very picture historical village called Porto Côvo, passing a small Island called "Ilha do Pessegueiro"with the option to go by the beach taken the hard sand or going a little bit more inland by the dunes path.
