Things to do in Olhão

Sun-kissed coastlines and a cool sea breeze caressing whitewashed houses, Olhão is textbook Algarve. A stone’s throw away from Faro, this cosy sea town boasts a blend of Moorish architecture topped with rooftop terraces overlooking a labyrinth of cobblestone streets. Nestled under red-tiled roofs, Olhão's bustling markets overflow with a kaleidoscope of seafood and produce. The air is heady with a medley of salt, grilling sardines, and blooming orange blossoms. As night falls, the town is painted in hues of rose and amber, and if you listen carefully, you can catch gentle Fado melodies cradling its alleyways. 1. Dinner and a Fado Show A quintessential Portuguese experience that combines the country's rich culinary traditions with its soul-stirring musical heritage. As you settle into a dimly lit Fado house, the aroma of delectable local dishes such as bacalhau or ‘salted cod’ mingles with nostalgic tunes of bygone days.2. Explore Ria Formosa Natural Park Just a stone’s throw away from Olhão, this park is one of the Algarve's true treasures. Lagoons, marshlands, and barrier islands dot Ria Formosa, a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. 3. Check out the local markets Olhão's famous markets are housed in two large red-brick buildings right by the waterfront. Here, you can experience the energetic local life. Tuck into some tasty fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables, seafood and much more. It's also an ideal spot to savour ‘pastéis de nata’ and oysters.
