Warehouse to recover, in the center of Olhão, 10 minutes from the Marina and the Municipal Markets.

The Warehouse has about 114sqm, and has a high ceiling. The city of Olhão is known as the 'cubist city', due to its architecture, where there are clear influences and Arab characteristics. It is possible that Olhão is the only example of a modern city with an Arab urban plan, built in a place where there never was an Arab settlement. Perhaps the fact that fishermen from Olhão maintained trade relations with North Africa unravels this mystery, as when they returned to the Algarve they brought ideas of model houses and cities from those parts.

In this Cubist city, the cubes of houses painted in white with cubic chimneys, platbands decorated with geometric motifs, topped by the famous roof terraces and belvederes, predominate; the narrow, labyrinthine streets and dead-end alleys.

The terraces had multiple functions, such as drying fruits (eg figs, almonds and carobs), collecting rainwater or serving as lookout posts.


However, a request for prior information was made, and it was dispatched by the Municipal Council (CMO) for the construction site of a maximum of 5 floors, with a basement for parking and storage, in accordance with the order issued by the City Council.


The heart of Olhão is its market, which is one of the oldest and most famous in Portugal. Visitors can find a wide variety of fresh products such as fish, fruit, vegetables and aromatic herbs. The city is also known for its traditional cuisine, especially seafood dishes.

Furthermore, Olhão is a popular tourist destination due to its stunning beaches and natural parks. The Ria Formosa, a protected nature reserve, is one of the most popular spots for outdoor activities such as hiking, bird watching and boat trips.
