We started the day at 8 am with a 15 minute \u20ac20 taxi ride up the coast to\u00a0Zambujeira do Mar where we had a lovely breakfast at the Por\u00a0do Sol cafe. Fortunately, the rain stopped just before we departed in the cab \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

After breakfast, we started on The Fishermans Trail all be it the final section. After some confusion, we finally found the trail on the other side of a huge empty car park. This place must be heaving in the summer with the vast car parks and large number of hotels\/b&b etc<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The trail is delightful with splendid views and very hilly, constantly dropping down to sea level and then straight back up. Very reminiscent\u00a0for me of my walk on the South West Coast Path in Cornwall. However, one huge difference is the sand! how does all the sand get on top of the cliffs? \u00a0was my constant thought.<\/p>\n

Once again the trail was virtually devoid of people even though it was sunny today.<\/p>\n

The last 4km into Odeceixe was a bit disappointing as it’s along\u00a0on a flat surfaced road, at least it had no cars on it.<\/p>\n

The trail itself was a fine end to our short walking holiday of just over 80 miles and 7,260 feet of ascent.<\/p>\n
