Itinerary description

A marvellous trail from Odeleite to Alcoutim - for the most part following the GR 15: Grande rota de Guadiana. Starting off from Odeleite along the Ribeira de Odeleite, then following the trail uphill to stunning views from Vale da Zorra. After Laranjeirãs I followed the yellow pilgrim arrows until a little before Pontal. Then a combination of GR15 and roadwalking until the climb up to Marmeleiro and then Alcoutim (following the GR 15 from where the climb starts).
