Olhos de Água is a picturesque fishing village in the Algarve, named for the freshwater springs that bubble up through the sand at low tide. The village retains its traditional character with whitewashed houses and a small harbor. Visitors can explore several sandy coves, such as Praia dos Olhos de Água, sheltered by cliffs. The area offers seafood restaurants and walking trails along the coast. Its relaxed atmosphere and natural beauty make it a peaceful escape from busier resorts.
