Olhão is a city in Portugal with 14,206 inhabitants (as of April 19, 2021). Olhão is located in the so-called Sand Algarve, the Sotavento. This is the name given to the region that stretches between Faro Airport and the Spanish border in eastern Portugal.

Among the numerous architectural monuments are a number of historic public buildings, various social housing blocks from the Estado Novo regime, the 17th-century fortress, and two Baroque parish churches. The historic town center as a whole is also a protected monument, and a tidal mill can be visited just outside the city.

The Ria Formosa Natural Park is a nature park surrounding a lagoon in the southern Portuguese Algarve. With a protected area of 170 km², the lagoon is one of the largest lagoonal nature reserves in Europe. The lagoon itself covers 83.5 km².

Fuseta, also known as Fuzeta, is a town and former municipality on the Algarve coast in southern Portugal. The German author Holger Karsten Schmidt, writing under the pseudonym Gil Ribeiro, created a crime series set here.

Olhão is located on the so-called Sand Algarve, the Sotavento. This is the name of the stretch of land that stretches between Faro Airport and the Spanish border in eastern Portugal. Today's town was re-established in the 17th century by fishermen who settled here and lived in simple straw huts. It was not until the end of the 18th century that solid stone houses were built based on the Moorish model. Since the middle of the 20th century, the fishing industry has been increasingly expanded. Olhão became a city in 1985.(...from Wiki)
