Funchal Old Town and Farmers Market
Funchal, Portugal
Funchal's old town and market area are best explored on foot at an unhurried pace. Move between the lanes, food stalls and waterfront, allowing the city to emerge through small details rather than a tightly scheduled circuit. A local guide can add context to the market and its produce, particularly on a first visit. Go with curiosity about the place rather than an expectation that every stall or street performs the same way for visitors.
