MARKETS AND FAIRS IN THE ALGARVE

The one who seeks, find. Find valuable items, memories of history, tasty products, curious goods and even friends. Find even what you never thought to buy or imagined to find. This is what happens in the markets, markets, fairs, velharias or samples from the Algarve. You just have to walk through those streets of stalls, removable every week or every month, to end up finding something you were looking for and if you weren't, it doesn't matter. For us, going to markets means more than having fun, a fun day even without buying, but I recognize that it is difficult to resist such attractive and varied genre. We tell you which ones, where, when and how are the Algarve markets.

Bags with soda cans, Balsa's chutney, Alcoutim artisan bread, the homemade sweets of Sao Brás de Alportel, freshly cooked petiscos, furniture made with cardboard, vases with car tires, wicker baskets, a Paul Anka record, an old Colacao can, Paula's organic oranges, jams with piri-piri, Algarve honey, an old-fashioned mink coat or even a gypsy outfit, why not? With all this and much more you will find in the markets.
