TOUR DESCRIPTION
See the narrow and winding streets of Barreta and Levante in Olhao, visit Municipal markets to see fish for sale, visit Carmo church, the Jewish cemetery, the Ethnographic Museum and soak up the atmosphere of this genuine fishing village. Finish the tour in Villa Real Santo Antonio where most of the tuna was sold.
Begin your private tour in Faro, where you will visit the Carmo church, the Jewish cemetery and the ethnographic Museum (to see the clothes of the Tuna fishermen).Then visit Olhao, where you see the first streets of the city, and where today we still find fishermen sewing their nets. Visit one of the most typical and well known places of Olhao - the fish market - where you will see fish jumping on benches!
Lunch is in a charming restaurant (not included) before the next stop of Tavira, where tuna is of huge importance. See where people lived, which grocery stores housed tuna, schools where children of fishermen studied, tools fishermen used and the chapel where the fishermen prayed before they went out to sea.
Finish your tour in Villa Real Santo Antonio, which under the order of Marques de Pombal, was built in less than two years, and is where most of the tuna was sold.
