A market Day

About 30 minutes from the resort Praia da Oura you can visit the Market Day. What an experience. It is a huge rectangular stone building open-aired in its centre with stalls surrounding all walls both inside and out. There are rows inside of fresh fruits, flowers, vegetables, bread, and FISH, with friendly bantering and bartering between the locals and the tourists all around. You can buy strawberries by the case, fresh cashews by the pound, and fresh flowers by the bunch.

You can also buy delightful pieces of Portuguese pottery and start your own collection or your first handmade straw basket perfect for market day or the beach.

On the outside one could purchase baby chicks, ducks, geese, and even rabbits. What a wonderful display of a local custom! of course you can have the perfect end for your morning enjoying "white coffee" at an outdoor cafe in the town square watching the world of Loole go by.
