Beautiful cities and nice villages
The villages of Fuseta, Olhao and Tavira are right on the sea and we can be found there almost every week. Each village has its own charm, atmosphere and range of restaurants and shops. What they have in common is that fresh vegetables, fruit and fish are sold every day in the covered market halls.
Markets
Every week on Sunday morning there is a big (gypsy) market in one of the villages. In Moncarapacho this is on the first Sunday of the month. Here you can of course get vegetables, fruit, plants, clothing, honey from the area. But for us and for many Portuguese it is also a place to drink coffee, eat chicken and meet many acquaintances!
Food and drink
Restaurants can be found everywhere, from a delicious daily special to a refined menu. Of course, many fish restaurants but also vegan/vegetarian dishes, sushi, Italian, Chinese, Indian food. The supermarket for delicious sandwiches and first necessities is a kilometer away.
