Highlights

Explore the charming traditional market of Olhão with its variety of fresh fish and seafood! Discover the Ria Formosa Natural Park on a boat trip around the islands. Discover its fauna, flora, secrets and curiosities. There will be a stop on one of the islands where suggestions for typical places for lunch will be given, which is not included in the tour. On the return to Olhão we will visit the historic center, which played a crucial role in our history due to its privileged location as a fishing port. Even today, the French choose it as the location for their oyster beds.

About Albufeira

Albufeira is a former fishing town on Portugal's Algarve coast, with whitewashed old streets, sandy coves below red cliffs and a long summer season.

Albufeira was a fishing town under Moorish rule, its name coming from the Arabic for a lagoon, and its old town still climbs a hill above the water in a tangle of whitewashed alleys and arches. A tunnel leads down to the Fishermen's Beach, where boats once landed their catch, and the clock tower and parish church stand in the centre.
