Why Olhão ?
The Shellfish Capital
The municipal markets of Olhão, one of the ex-libris of the town of Olhão, began to be built in 1912 and were inaugurated four years later. For nearly a century, they have been one of the illustrated postcards of Olhão and a must for tourists and residents.
The historic quarter is one of the most important places to be seen and visited in Olhão because of its typicity and history. The cubist architecture is unique in the country.
