Portugal - Algarve
Olhão
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Olhão is a sardine and tuna fishing port about 8 kilometers east of Faro, with beaches much less crowded than those at Faro. You can take a ferry from Olhão out to either Armona or Culatra, islands just off the coast where you can enjoy peaceful beaches. Olhão gained great fame when in 1808 some brave local fishermen sailed all the way to Rio de Janeiro in their small boat to tell King Dom João VI the joyful news that Napoleon’s troops had been defeated and forced out of Portugal.
