Albufeira e Olhos de Água

The 41 square kilometer area combines two districts along the Algarve coast, featuring sandstone cliffs and multiple beaches with clear waters.

The administrative region was established in 2013 through the merger of two separate parishes, Albufeira and Olhos de Água, to form a unified district.

Local fishermen maintain traditional practices, with their boats and equipment visible near the shores, contributing to the maritime identity of the region.

The area contains numerous restaurants, accommodations, and beach facilities, with parking spaces available near Rua dos Pescadores for beach access.

Natural freshwater springs emerge through the sand during low tide at Praia dos Olhos de Água, creating distinctive patterns that inspired the beach name.
