The Mira is still relatively narrow here, you can paddle sheltered from the wind and often have shade: the river is lined with tall trees and looks like a green oasis with old cork oaks, olive and strawberry trees, alders, poplars and willows.

When the tide is advanced, start in Odemira and paddle upstream, because the ocean current remains strong enough for about two hours to gently support you. After that you can come back with the ebb current.

You decide: how far you want to paddle, when to turn around and how long you want to stay on the water!
