Island Life Uncovered: Market Visit and Mountain Off-Road Adventure Blend Culture with Nature


A unique local experience invites visitors to explore the island’s traditions by starting at a weekly Sunday farmers’ market, where growers themselves take on the role of sellers. This vibrant gathering showcases the freshest seasonal produce, offering an authentic taste of island life through fruits, vegetables, and ingredients that reflect the rhythms of the land and its changing seasons.


Far beyond a simple shopping stop, the market provides a cultural immersion into the island’s agricultural heritage. Each stall tells a story of origin and cultivation, allowing visitors to connect directly with the people behind the produce and gain insight into traditional farming practices that continue to shape local identity.


The journey then transitions from cultural discovery to adventure, as guests embark on an off-road excursion into the island’s rugged interior. The route climbs into the mountains, revealing sweeping views of rolling hills, deep valleys, and dramatic natural landscapes that stretch across the horizon.


Combining local food culture with outdoor exploration, the experience offers a balanced blend of authenticity and adrenaline. From lively market conversations to panoramic mountain vistas, the tour delivers an engaging way to experience both the everyday life and wild beauty of the island in a single journey.

The Mercado dos Lavradores is undoubtedly a beautiful and vibrant market, full of colorful displays of many different fruits. It's definitely worth visiting just to see the aesthetic and variety. ​However, it seems heavily geared towards tourists, as the prices are quite high. For example, I was charged €10.27 for just a small banana and half a dragon fruit. While the produce looks amazing, be prepared for steep prices compared to local alternatives. Come for the sights, but shop carefully!

The market is not big but you get to see many interesting local fruits, vegetables, plants/ seeds, sweets and herbs. The toilets are clean and plenty of cafes to sit down and take a break.

Traditional market that has had to turn to tourism in order to survive. Today, almost all the stalls are focused on tourists — you’ll rarely see a local shopping here. A clear example is the fish market square, where tourists don’t buy and only a few stalls are still open, with hardly any customers. Meanwhile, fruit stalls selling at €50/kg and souvenir stands are packed. These kinds of places deserve more protection. That said, I came to buy fruit for breakfast and was happy to find a wide variety available
