Shopping in Mercado dos Lavradores

Do you know that … shopping can be something more than just throwing necessary products into the shopping cart?

The hubbub of conversations, music, all kinds of colors, the smell of spices, flowers, and fruits, or a slightly less pleasant smell – fish – all these stimulants will accompany you when you decide to enter Mercado dos Lavradores. It’s the oldest covered market on the island. In a big building that has almost 100 years, farmers and traders sell all kinds of nature’s gifts.

Targowisko na Maderze. Na straganach pełno kolorowych owoców i warzyw. Grupa ludzi robi zakupy.
