Getting Around
The village of Olhão is the commercial center of the archipelago. The ferry that connects with the island of Armona carries islanders with carts loaded with basic products, water and food, refrigerators and mops. Armona only has a street of modest houses, which go from the dock to the dunes, raised in the sixties for weekend solace, because without electricity or fresh water they did not serve much else. In the market of Olhão the star product is the mollusk, and of all of them, the clam, raised and collected a few meters, as well as cockles, knives. Fresh fish is in abundance too at the market. But to taste them, at a table, nothing better than visiting a restaurant or prepare the at your house ! Delicious !! Both experiences as pleasant as sighting birds in this paradise that forms the Ria Formosa.
