If man-made, modern resorts are not your thing, you will probably find Olhos D’Agua very appealing.
It is a quiet fishing village and is much the same today as it was a 100 years ago.
The pace is relaxed, and fishing is still important to the community, with many traditional restaurants relying on the catch of the day to serve you after sundown.
With its whitewashed cottages and cobbled streets leading down to a small, charming beach, Olhos D’Agua is a popular holiday destination for Portuguese families.
It may be quiet, but you are only 15 minutes away from the far livelier resorts of Albufeira and Vilamoura.
If you are fortunate enough to be in Olhos d’Agua in August, you are sure to eat a lot of sardines!
The annual Sardine Festival is one big beach party with live music, fireworks and as many delicious barbecued sardines as you can eat!
This is a really friendly village and you will be made to feel very welcome.
