Olho is a major port and actually the largest fishing port in the Algarve. It is full of character with Moorish-style houses,an influence from the commercial links with Africa. Although Olho only really became a town of note in the 19th century, it was first mentioned in 1378. At this time it would have been a very small fishing settlement of a handful of people, living in huts made of wood, reeds and straw on the beach. By 1679 it was important enough to need the building of the fortress of So Loreno to defend it from pirates.Olho is a town of many 'faces' - if you approach from the fishing port side it looks, and is, very industrial and, unless you are particularly interested in fishing boats and warehousing it doesn't look very attractive. However, around the corner from the dock the road runs along the water front and there is a long, very pleasant, paved promenade with cool gardens to escape the heat of the sun. If you are driving to Olho there is plenty of parking along this water front road (Avenida 5 de Outubro)- the stretch in front of the town is paying, but go a little further and just before the road splits into a dual carriageway there is a free carpark on the water front side.
