This is Lisbon's Flea Market, or to translate the Portuguese accurately, “Thieves’ Market”. It is held every Tuesday and Saturday in the shadows of the Santa Engracia Church, or National Pantheon. CDs, books, clothes, stamps, coins, military objects, antiques, furniture, crafts and plain old junk can all be found, either on the various stalls or spread on blankets on the ground. You may just find a bargain, although for me a visit here is more about soaking up local colour and taking photographs than it is about shopping.
