The Olhão municipality
The whole Olhão municipality, in one place.
The Algarve’s biggest fishing port never dressed itself up for tourists, and that is its charm: waterfront markets, a cubist old town and ferries out to the Ria Formosa islands, with Moncarapacho in the orchards behind. This is everything happening across the concelho: the towns, the events and the businesses, brought together and kept current by the community.
