SÃO SEBASTIÃO MARKETS
Every 2nd weekend in the peak season there is an open-air weekend market just next to the São Sebastião chapel. It’s worth a visit for its fun mix of secondhand trinkets and homemade art and crafts. There is a stand selling honey, and a couple of stands with secondhand furniture’s as well as art and jewelry. The location is perfect for a late-morning stroll. Shopping and inhaling the salty ocean air. If you want a snack the churros wagon is close by. And in the market itself there are usually someone selling homemade Portuguese cakes and pastries.
