Mercado Municipal do Mindelo
Mercado Municipal
An 1874 colonial-style covered market where two galleries of stalls sell fruit, vegetables, coffee and local crafts. A great place to soak up everyday city life.
The market is a two-story building built around a central courtyard. The ground floor sells produce, beans and hot pepper sauce from Santo Antão, while the upper level has coffee stalls and souvenir vendors. Nearby is the lively seaside fish market (Mercado de Peixe), where fishermen sell tuna and other seafood in the morning. Most stalls close on Sundays. Ask vendors' permission before taking photos.
