We went to the market on a tour on Saturday morning. It is fabulous and a must see if you have the time. It is huge with seafood, fresh produce, baking, honey, and hand made crafts. We stopped for lunch at a little restaurant and had incredible pizza and beer for a very reasonable price. I would recommend it especially if you are a person that enjoys market shopping, you won't be disappointed.

The Saturday market in Loule is fabulous. The selection and variety of fish, fruit and vegetables is the best we have seen. There are lots of stalls inside and outside the market including craft and local produce. We found a lovely small cafe in the old convent building (the one with the huge tree in the middle of the courtyard) where the coffee and custard tarts were fabulous and cheap. The surrounding shops had a great selection of things to buy including local pottery, ceramics, jewellery and palm woven products. Would highly recommend a visit here on a Saturday ( but go early as some of the shops were starting to close by 1pm). For information we went to Loule from Albufeira by Uber and it cost 15 euros each way, taking 25 minutes.

We had a wonderful tapas lunch here at the Sabores da Terra. Freshly grilled chicken piri piri, entrecôte, a tomato salad and the Parma ham board and chips. It was all absolutely delicious. Waiting time was 10m but we visited in low season. We originally passed by here on Sunday evening it was packed and they had live music playing. I would highly recommend it and we will definitely be back next time we’re in town.

Nice food market on Saturday morning in very beautiful market halls and surrounding areas. Many locals come to do their shopping there. The stalls are colorful and full of products. A few shops inside for tourists with spices, dried fruits, tea and coffee.. where they don't hesitate to call on you, standing out from the rest of the shops.. Then get lost in the alleys of pretty quality craft shops and local exhibitors (pottery, honey, basketry, copperwork, wood) prices which are most often lower than in stores, get an idea of the prices before buying despite everything. Pretty little cafes or restaurants within a restricted area. To definitely do. Saturday market ends around 1:00 p.m.

Highly recommend a day out to the market in Loule if you're nearby. The main marketplace building is very cool, there's loads of stalls in it and the streets around. When it was all winding down some llive music started up inside which was great fun while we finished the freshly prepared oysters and tuna sandwich. There's so many stalls of fresh fruit, veg, fish; local honey; plenty of crafts and more!

Brilliant market, lots of different stalls, fresh produce People are really friendly, popular with locals, lots of cafes nearby serving delicious food Surrounding streets are full of shops selling, clothes, jewellery Lovely place to come and walk around for a day

We visited the market yesterday at around 10 a.m. All but two or three stalls were open. After a first look around, we had a leisurely second breakfast in one of the cafes near the market. We then went to the market to buy lunch and dinner. A tip: tuna from a large piece
