Loulé: Municipal market
Loulé is the economically most important city in the hinterland of the Algarve. The "Mercado "Municipal", one of the landmarks in the Algarve, is the vivid centre, every Saturday attracting thousands of locals and tourits to buy fresh fish and seafood, regional specialties and agricultural produce from the neighbouring Alentejo.
Loulé: Market hall
The style of this well known building is reminiscent of the Moorish architecture of former times. The market hall (Mercado Municipal) is located adjacent to the Largo de Gago Coutinho, and every Saturday the weekly fair takes place in the surrounding lanes. After extensive renovations, the market re-opened in early 2007 to display its new splendour.
