Mercado dos Lavradores Funchal Madeira

The Mercado dos Lavradores is a fruit, vegetable, flower and fish market in Funchal, Madeira. The building was designed by Edmundo Tavares and opened on 24 November 1940. The facade, main entrance and fish market contain traditional Azulejo depicting regional themes, executed by João Rodrigues.
This open market is a hive of activity, noise, color and high-energy, where you can buy many of Madeira's specialties from fresh local fruits & vegetables to exotic flowers and local crafts and souvenirs. There are seed for the gardener and herbs spices, dried fruits and pulses and much much more. A sizeable fish market is located to the back of the market. By midday or afternoon most fish will be sold, if you are interested to see many of the fish species that you find on the restaurant menu, you need to go early! There is opportunity for food a drink but it’s a bit pricy.
Time for coffee at Padaria Pau De Canela just around the corner from the market. R. Latino Coelho 10, 9060-155 Funchal, Portugal.
