A unique destination in the Algarve that offers visitors a glimpse into the region's rich history and traditional industries. Located just outside of Olhão, the salt flats have been in operation for centuries and continue to produce high-quality sea salt using traditional methods.

Visitors can take a tour of the salt flats to learn about the process of salt production and the important role it has played in the local economy over the years. The guided tours take visitors through the various stages of salt production and offer insight into the history of the region.

Aside from the educational aspect, Salinas de Olhão is also a great location for photography enthusiasts. The natural beauty of the salt flats, with their intricate patterns and unique wildlife, make for stunning photographs. Visitors can capture images of the salt flats at different times of day and in different weather conditions, providing endless opportunities for creativity.

Overall, Salinas de Olhão is a must-visit destination for those interested in learning about traditional industries and enjoying the natural beauty of the Algarve.
