Odiáxere
A small town just east of Lagos with a parish church noted for its Manueline doorway and a nearby menhir.
Odiáxere is a small town in the Lagos municipality, lying on the main road between Lagos and Portimão. Its parish church on the central square has a Manueline doorway, azulejo panels and a gilded altarpiece, and a prehistoric menhir stands in a garden on the edge of the village.
The surrounding area is mostly farmland, irrigated by the Bravura reservoir to the north, and the Ria de Alvor wetlands lie to the east. Odiáxere is a working local town rather than a resort, convenient for both Lagos and the beaches along the bay.
