Guiding since 2025
I am a proud son of Olhão, born and raised in the traditions of this fishing town. The history of my city runs through my veins, lived by generations of my family who dedicated their lives to the sea and local culture. With a deep sense of mission, I left behind 20 years as an educator to embrace this challenge: bringing visitors and locals closer together, creating an authentic experience where every traveler feels at home. Passionate about the arts, geography, and storytelling, I promise to share every tale that makes Olhão a truly unique place. Many of these stories were passed down from my family, and today, I take pride in telling them to my children. Now, I want to share them with you. Come and experience Olhão from the heart!
