European Best Destinationss list of Europes best hidden gems 2019 has proposals for every taste - from houses under rock in Andalusia, to a “hidden” bay in Crete and Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.

 

Among the 15 hidden treasures of Europe, we find the beach of Odeceixe, located in the municipality of Aljezur, in the Algarve, which, being half Alentejo, flows into it the Ribeira de Seixe that divides the two regions and forms a freshwater beach.

 

The neighboring beach is Adegas beach, a naturist beach, one of the few nudist beaches in Portugal - eight in total.

 

Odeceixe, once voted one of the 7 Wonders - Beaches of Portugal, will probably become very popular this summer. According to Ana Fernandes, journalist at Fugas, Odeceixe is two-in-one. Or the three-in-one. Or even more so. I will explain: its sea and pool, its space and light. Its Alentejo and its Algarve. It is a beach that, according to the tides, is two. By the way, three. Confused? In fact, its all very simple and wonderful.
