  • This my favourite place when I need to buy fresh vegetables and fruits. Here you can find a well known shop, just on the right site of the main entrance, specialized in our regional products, namely cheeses, liquors and sweets.
    Don't forget to visit the shops of our artisanat.

    Address: Rua do Mercado (close to Teatro Micaelense).
