Czyli targ owocowo-kwiatowy (i nie tylko) w stolicy Madery - Funchal. Mozna tu poczuc troche codzienne zycie wyspiarzy... kupic najbardziej egzotyczne owoce, ich krzyzowki (np. papai z pomidorem), lub tez torbe kasztanow (kiedy tam bylismy zblizalo sie wlasnie Swieto Kasztanow). Kwiaciarki w tradycyjnych maderskich strojach, czerwonych kaftanach i pasiastych spodnicach siedza na swoich stoiskach w otoczeniu lilii, storczyków i strelicji...
Targ miesci sie w okazalym budynku Art Deco z lat 40tych, jego sciany zdobia tradycyjne, bialo-niebieskie kafelki portugalskie, ktore przyciagaly moj wzrok rownie czesto co wielobarwne kwiaty.

Mercado dos Lavradores is a fruit and vegetable (and not only!) market in Funchal, the main city of Madeira. You can have a feel of the daily life here, buy some of the exotic fruits or their unique combinations (papaya plus tomato, anyone?), or a bag full of chestnuts (when we were there, the Festival of Chestnuts was coming up soon). The ladies selling flowers wear the traditional costume of Madeira, a red dress with a lot of colourful banners. They sit in their stalls among the baskets full of lilies, orchids and strelitzias...
Mercado dos Lavradores is installed in a 1940's Art Deco building, on the walls there are traditional painted, blue and white Portugal tiles, I had to take a look at them almost as often as at the colourful flowers.
