Algarve Resorts - Olhos D'Agua
Monday, 16th November 2009
Olhos D’Agua is a small resort and a working fishing village. Located between Albufeira and Vilamoura, it is less than 4 miles to Albufeira town centre, and less than 2 miles to the Albufeira “Strip”. Walking to the Strip is easy, taking less than half an hour.
Olhos D’Agua is a pretty and restful resort. Another very hospitable place to spend a holiday, it seems a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of Albufeira. There is a nice beach, surrounded by cliffs populated with pine trees, which never gets over crowded even at the height of the summer season.
The village has a very nice promenade, with palm trees, and a good selection of bars and restaurants. There is no nightlife to speak of, but the attractions of Albufeira are just a few minutes by bus or taxi.
A nice festival is the Sardine festival in August. Lots to eat and drink, with music and dancing.
A peculiarity of the village is the natural water springs, which are visible in the beachside rocks when the tide is out. Falésia beach, with its incredible red cliffs, is close by.
A pretty, relaxing resort, but with the facilities of Albufeira and Vilamoura just a short distance away.
