Visit LEIRIA PORTUGAL - Fish Market Prices, Bus Information, Exploring & Walking Around

[@crystaleldridge3988]

I am so impressed by the appearance of those greens! I haven't seen greens in the US that look like that in years!!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello crystal, and welcome to our channel! The fruit and vegetables are amazing in Portugal, especially from local markets, like this one in Leiria! We also had an amazing experience in another market, in Alcobaça... here's the link to that video, where the produce is amazing and the people were so friendly! 😁😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/laKsgnmHfbyZfKc Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, we always love to hear such positive feedback! ~ Mandy 😀😁

Thank you for sharing your visit to Leira with us!

Loved seeing the Feijo trees for sale, we have just had a wonderful crop here in Palmerston north. Love your videos.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much, Clare! It's always wonderful to hear from a fellow Kiwi, and I have to say that I have such feijoa envy! I've seen a few feijoa bushes for sale at markets but have only seen 1 in a garden, and it was more of a tree than a bush! Did you end up bottling any, or just eat them fresh? We'll probably be back in NZ at the end of the year to visit family, but will have missed feijoa season! Oh, I should have mentioned the price... €7 to buy a feijoa plant! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@clarelessels2713]

Made Chutney, stewed some and ate fresh. In our neighborhood lots of people had Feijos at gate to give away. Always look forward to your new videos each week, keep them coming please. 😻😸

How unusual, taking the loo roll before going into the cubicles.

[@FrugalTravellers]

I've seen it a few times now, including on Wednesday at Lisbon Oriente station! It's always good to carry your own stash though, just in case... which I'm going tostart mentioning more in vlogs 😁😀 ~ Mandy

Great video Mandy.

Thank you, Cindy, that's so kind of you 😃😁 ~ Mandy

Using the old telephone booths as a book exchange gave me a smile. I've seen this a couple other places, but I cannot think of where. It may have been Lourinhã. We are having a great time so far in Caldas da Rainha this month. You will want to check out the open air market, if you have not already. I got a few items this morning for €4.29. I priced out the same things at the supermarket I used to go to in the states and it would have come out to €12.95. It's a great value! Thanks for the video. I'm off now to try to find a place to watch the Ukraine and Wales match tomorrow.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Todd! Thank you so much for your lovely comment... it's always great to hear from you! We saw two more phone box libraries recently, in Évora and Faro. That's great value for the open air market - we'll have to go next week. Let us know if you find somewhere to watch the match tomorrow, as we're currently housesitting in Caldas, and Lee's keen to watch the match! It could be fun to meet up 😃😁 ~ Mandy

Fun video! Pretty sure based on the look of the brick construction that bit of arch at the beginning is Roman. Our favourite fish when we are in Portugal is Dourado and we recently have been thrilled to find that our Costco here in Canada is now stocking it in the fresh seafood section. Fire up the grill!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you for the advice on the arch. It was such a pity that the sign was completely weathered and tagged! It's great to hear that you can now buy Dourado, so tasty! Definitely get that grilled fired up for Sunday lunch. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

Dourada

Thought you were goin to miss bus dandering about getting lost in the moment, done that lol. Yeah bus station is fuglgly but I say it has neglected character 🤣 hope all good with your tests great vid as always 😎👍

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello revolt7! Fuggly is a great way to describe Leiria bus station, but I'm so grateful that the loos are free! Tests were good and they couldn't find anything obstructing the vein... apparently it's my blimmin' heavy backpack causing the problem, so I need to try and go minimalist! 😳 Thank you so much for your great comments... we always love hearing from you! ~ Mandy

The Memrise app (well I THINK it's that one) has a function where you hover your phone over text, which it 'sees' through the camera and it literally converts the Portuguse words to English ones before your very eyes.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Google Translate does that as well, with varying success. It was awful in China as really struggled to translate the flowery nature of Mandarin, and came out with some right poetic gibberish 😀🤣 ~ Mandy

[@PlanetImo]

No it's not - just paused the video to check. It's Google translate phone app. You use the camera button and hover over text. It's underneath the 'enter text' field. That would have worked on your plaque, I think.

[@goncaloaraujo665]

You need to visit Aveiro. The Venice of Portugal.

[@FrugalTravellers]

It's the No.1 place on our list for Portugal! We've heard such wonderful things from everyone, so hopefully we can find a housesit there. Thank you for taking the time to make your great suggestion! 🙏😀😁 ~ Mandy

[@GiantessNomad]

Do you guys have a Patreon or a app where we can buy you guys a coffee or treat? Love your content! I’ll be in Portugal in September for my first scouting trip for a potential move and your realistic content is so enlightening.

[@FrugalTravellers]

That is so lovely, Cheryl. Thank you for your comment and compliment! We have a Buy Me A Coffee account, (the link is below) which we set up after a few kind people asked for a way to buy us a coffee or a drink... my Ma actually bought us 5 coffees through it, as she's such a sweetheart! ❤ Wishing you great success on your scouting trip in September, and we hope you enjoy our upcoming videos on Tomar, Évora and Faro! 😃😁 ~ Mandy www.buymeacoffee.com/FrugalTravel

Do you have plans to go back to the greek islands?

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Leigh. No, we don't have any plans to go back to Greece for a while. We would have liked to have visited Cyprus and Malta this year but we've committed to extra housesits so will be in Portugal for longer. Thank you for your question though! ~ Mandy

Oh no! Getting told off for filming! It's the curse of the vlogger.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Definitely... I need to learn to be more surreptitious and more thick skinned! I tried to get footage at the Tomar market with the GoPro attached to my bag, and it's all unusable! I'll just have to risk it each time! 😁 My main curse as a vlogger is procrastination! I'm answering your lovely comments instead of finishing tomorrow's video, which I've had 2 weeks to make 🤣😂 I am so in awe of your ability to produce daily vlogs that are always entertaining... you're amazing! 👏😀😁 ~ Mandy
