17. Market magic
All Portuguese towns have markets offering a daily show of fresh fish, locally farmed fruit and veg and grizzly selections of offal. Olhao's waterfront market in the Algarve dates back to 1912 and is famed nationwide for its seafood.
In Madeira's capital Funchal, flower-venders in colorful folk costumes compete with a kaleidoscope of sub-tropical produce. Porto's 19th-century Mercado do Bolhao is a much-loved landmark.
Mercado da Ribeira became Lisbon's second most-visited tourist attraction after a makeover that added a gourmet food hall.
One tip: Markets are dead on Mondays, there's no fish.
