A traditional Algarve street market: stalls of seasonal fruit and vegetables, bread, cheese and cured meats, plus clothing, shoes and household goods. Go early for the best of it; most stalls wind down around lunchtime.
Mornings are best. Most stalls set up early and start packing up around lunchtime.
Bring cash. Many stallholders do not take cards, and small notes make life easier.
In summer, go early to beat the heat and get parking nearby.
