MARKETPLACE of FUNCHAL, Madeira -- Mercardo dos Lavradores

Join us as we visit the Mercardo dos Lavradores in Funchal , Island of Madeira, Portugal.
Located in the heart of old town Funchal, the “Mercado dos Lavradores” (Farmer´s Market) is a covered marketplace that overflows with colour, aroma, sound and tradition. Inaugurated in 1940, the “Mercado dos Lavradores” was built to provide the island´s inhabitants with a central location to buy and sell local products.

The main entrance is decorated with hand-painted azulejos (tiles) all displaying regional themes. Also at the main entrance you will find women dressed in the Madeira traditional costume selling flowers. Walking into the market you will find yourself on the first floor where fresh exotic fruits, vegetables, spices and herbs, leather and wicker are sold. You can sample the exotic fruits of the area.
Fishhall downstairs ... Further into the market and walking down steps to the ground floor you will stumble into the area where fresh meat and fish such as “peixe espada preta”, tuna, octopus and lapas (mussels) are found along with the very ugly, but very tasty Scabbard fish.
