The sixth stage of the Fishermen’s Trail leads from the “border village” of Odeceixe to the fortified town of Aljezur. First, however, the trail heads to the beachfront village of Praia de Odeceixe, which, with the Miradouro da Maravilha, offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views of Portugal’s southwest coast.
