The Ponte Caldelas Craft and Ecological Fair is the most distinctive of the three, focusing on handicrafts and organic produce. It is a strong choice for visitors interested in locally made goods and eco-certified food, and it runs on a weekly basis outdoors in the open air.
The Ponte Caldelas Market is the main food and clothing market, with stalls selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, meat and poultry, clothing, and footwear. It runs weekly and is the best option if you are shopping for everyday produce or picking up affordable clothing.
The Ponte Caldelas Opportunity Fair rounds out the weekly calendar with a focus on clothing, footwear, and flowers and plants. It is worth a visit in spring and summer when flower stalls tend to be at their most abundant.
Planning your visit
All three markets are held outdoors, so weather is worth checking before you travel.
