Flying over Odeceixe

Having fun with Google Earth

Odeceixe (pronounced odd-say-sh) is a small village in Algarve, southern Portugal. With my parents we used to go there every summer, even when were still in Africa. Eventually my parents bought a house and retired there (later on they moved some place else though).

This place is really two villages. The main one 1.5 mile from the shore, and then its beach version built on top of a small cliff. The combination of ocean and river makes this a very pretty beach. For the longest time it was a type of “best kept secret” but I think less and less secret. This is my contribution to revealing the secret.

If you have Google Earth installed, you can fly there. If not, just enjoy these pictures.
