Olhao

Olhão's unique architecture creates a particular urban panorama. One of Olhão’s most iconic features is its network of cubist-style houses. These Cubist structures showcase the city's artistic spirit and unique approach to architecture. The first stop on our tour is the municipal market. Set along the waterfront, this building stands out among the white houses with its red-brick walls and green domes. There are two sections: one with fruits and vegetables and local dry products, and another solely dedicated to fish and seafood, like clams, mussels, and oysters. We will walk to the town centre along the traditional streets where you will find traditional Portuguese buildings with their traditional tiles and iron balconies and also you will see the cubist houses.
