Olhão's waterfront markets and Loulé's market hall offer two different windows into the region. One looks towards the lagoon and the fishing boats; the other sits in a lively inland town. We choose one rather than rush between both.
Your guide leaves time to browse, speak with traders and stop for coffee. Tastings depend on the stalls open that morning and your dietary preferences. Market hours and weekly outdoor-market days are checked when we plan your visit.
