Hi everyone - maybe a stupid question but can you cross the river close to Praia Odeceixe coming from ZDM and avoid the walk into Odeceixe?
we are staying in Praia Odeceixe and I believe you can cross the river at the beach end at the right tide?
Thanks in advance

I haven’t been there myself but asked a friend who owns a house in Aljezur and he answered that usually the river in summertime is dry but there always are exceptions
so he advices to cross the river in Odeceixe

from my last year experience in early May, I couldn’t cross by walking. Some sand banks but definitely some water that I couldn’t see the deep.

anyhow, if you end up to be able to cross, the beach is few km from the city center and the Camino. Also depends where your lodging is.

enjoy the long detour and be safe.
