Open-air market with local trinkets and souvenirs

Side-street handicraft shops

Farmer's indoor market with fresh produce

What to expect

Loule boasts a rich medieval history, and it has always been a hugely important commercial centre for the Algarve region. Explore its open-air market stalls and its thriving indoor farmer's market on this half-day excursion. Although Loule is the Algarve's second-biggest city, its markets are conveniently located within striking distance of one another. Wander the narrow lanes of open-air “gypsy” market, where locally produced ceramics and all manner of other items weigh down the plentiful stalls. This is the prime territory for picking up some great souvenirs at a bargain price.You might want to cool down by taking things indoors to the beautifully restored farmers' market. Savour the wonderful sights and smells of the plentiful produce, which has been transported that very morning from the surrounding countryside and the clear Atlantic Ocean. And if there's time left over, delve into the narrow side streets that surround the markets. Here, you'll stumble across Loule's little handicraft shops, stuffed with hand-worked copper pans and wicker baskets

Expensive for what was essentially a coach ride to Loulé. Tour guide didn’t really do very much except to point out the location of the markets and to give us “free time”. The flea market was like your basic UK market on open ground with a few stalls. Not worth visiting in my opinion. The market in the main part of town much nicer. Lots of stalls selling produce and some with dried fruits, spices, honey etc. Go to Loule, it’s worth a visit, but look to getting an Uber, may be cheaper.

The gypsy market and farmers market are quite far apart so allow time to get from one to the other, The products at the farmers market are very good, and the shops and cafes and restaurants Abundant

Good trip, really lovely place and enjoyed day. The guide could have been more informative in the coach journey to Loule, also there were a lot of pick up/drop off points so took a long time to get there/back.

Our guide Ana was so knowledgeable on both trips we went on and was amazed at how native she sounded in so many languages. This trip was the best one we did on the holiday and we were able buy some great produce to cook with when we got home as we were self catering. Definitely recommend if your in this area !!! ??

You get to go to two markets. The gypsy market - which is just a car boot - and the traditional market. The traditional market is mostly food. Lost of seafood, lots of fruits and veggies. Not so much in the way of souvenirs. Wouldn't go again, but it was nice to see.
