When I went to pay for a parking slip at 8:00 am Saturday morning in Olháo, I encountered the scene you see in the first photo below. Man, was it busy. What was happening was market day. Bonnie and I spent a couple of hours walking around, seeing, hearing, feeling the market experience. What is exotic and photogenic to us is just everyday to them. Enjoy market day in Olháo.

 |
| The fish market was loud, smelly, busy |

| An idea for place markers for your next dinner party?!? |

| So silvery! Eels?? |
 |
| Parts is parts... |
 |
| Octopus, the region's specialty |
 |
| Reminds one of the tiled roofs of Spain... |
 |
| Now that is a hunk of tuna! |
 |
| Snails in abundance |
 |
| Grains |
 |
| Not sure what they are looking at |

We encountered this lady in Tavira on the Roman Bridge two days
before. She loudly shakes a single coin in her plastic cup shouting,
"MONEY...MONEY...MONEY!" |
