Olhão is a historic fishing town located in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. Originally established as a small fishing village, it grew into a significant port during the 18th and 19th centuries. The town is characterized by its distinctive cubic architecture, influenced by North African design, particularly visible in its old quarters Barreta and Levante.

Olhão maintains its authentic character as an active fishing port, with its bustling waterfront market halls being central to local life. The town's cultural heritage is deeply connected to its maritime traditions, reflected in its local customs, festivals, and gastronomy.
