The Olhão market hall is one of the city’s must-sees. A unique building made up of two red brick buildings topped with Moorish-style domes, they house every Saturday the best of the Algarve in terms of taste. And as proof, this is where the best chefs in the region are supplied. On the one hand, fruits, vegetables and other products of the region, on the other shellfish, crustaceans and freshly caught fish.

The Notebooks of Olhão

July 12, 2020 I 32°C – Sun, blue sky, calm sea.


Olhão nm. feminine. Small fishing town, magical and unspoiled place, located in the south of Portugal, in the Algarve, a few kilometers from the city of Faro.

1. BREATHE

Olhão is a small town with whitewashed houses of Moorish inspiration located in the Ria Formosa Park, facing its incredible lagoon which stretches along the ocean for more than 60 kilometers long. Here, between white sandy beaches and idyllic barrier islands, everything is sun and turquoise water. Whether you are a lazy team, an explorer team or both, everyone will benefit from the richness of Olhão, its unspoiled landscapes, the friendliness of its welcome and its relaxed way of life .

3. EXPERIENCE

In Olhão, gastronomy is a real art of living. The Chefs work the products of the sea and the land, coming directly from the trawlers and the auction, from the neighboring vegetable gardens and orchards. For a quick lunch, we recommend Figo da Pita and its proposal of poke bowls, avocado toast, salad and fresh fruit and vegetable juice. Fresh, colorful and healthy.
