Olhão is an authentic, traditional Portuguese fishing town. The sea and fishing are in the blood of the proud Olhanense people.
I think it is unique and not a typical tourist resort community. It's a historic town suitable for year-round living, with many supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, banks, services and wonderful fresh markets.
It has a small town feeling, where people know each other, and I have become a part of the community with many friends and acquaintances.
