Os caíques eram embarcações de pesca velozes e resistentes usadas ao longo da costa portuguesa. Eles também realizavam transporte de mercadorias e pessoas entre portos portugueses e do Mediterrâneo. Um caíque chamado "Bom Sucesso" navegou até o Brasil para informar a família real portuguesa exilada sobre a retirada das tropas francesas, um feito histórico que levou à elevação do status da vila de Olhão.
As artes de pesca tradicionais de Olhão incluem redes, armadilhas e aparelhos para capturar peixe, moluscos e crustáceos de forma passiva ou ativa. Muitas destas artes ainda são usadas hoje, embora algumas tenham caído em desuso.

The document discusses how climate change is impacting the Algarve region of Portugal. It finds that while average annual temperatures have not significantly increased from 1990 to 2009, some individual months in 2000 and 2009 were warmer than 1990. This could impact tourism patterns in the region. Higher water temperatures are also causing fish species normally found further south to appear in the Algarve. Some marine plant life is disappearing as temperatures rise. The document also notes concerns around increased risk of diseases, heat waves, wildfires, and changes to rainfall patterns with climate change.

The Carnation Revolution was a bloodless military coup in Portugal on April 25, 1974 that overthrew the authoritarian Estado Novo regime, which had been in power since 1933. There were two secret signals that alerted rebel military officers to launch the coup - the playing of songs on the radio. After the coup succeeded, the country transitioned to democracy, with a new constitution coming into effect on April 25, 1976, establishing Portugal's status as a democratic republic. This event is now commemorated annually in Portugal as Freedom Day.
