Rio do Guadiana II ⚓: Foz de Odeleite

Since we have about two weeks before we have reserved a spot in the harbor of Ayamonte we wanted to take small trips going up the river. Our second stop was only about 7 miles away from our first anchorage.

We had one main activity during our time on the Guadiana: walk, walk, walk and walk some more. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful. On both sides of the river, both Spain and Portugal, we are surrounded by green olive and orange trees growing on the hills. Our background sounds are the bells from the sheep herds🐑🐏, turkeys "gobble gobble gobble"🦃 and every morning we wake up to roosters🐓.

Foz de Odeleite is a tiny tiny town with probably only about 10 inhabitants. Here we discovered the Guadiana Pequeña (small) and Guadiana Grande (large) nature trails for us to follow through the villages and over the hills here all along the river. Along the way we have been able to pick oranges, tangerines, lemons and pomegranates 😍. Every now and then it feels like we have found our way to the Shire 💍🧙🏽.Read more
