The Sunday Market (Mercado Domingueiro) is the perfect opportunity to explore a wide range of local products and crafts. If you’re looking for culinary delights that promise to enchant, this event is ideal for you.
What makes this market special is that many of the products for sale are harvested and produced in the Protected Landscape of Montado do Freixo do Meio. By shopping with us, you not only take home organic, fresh, and healthy products, but you also contribute to the regeneration of this unique area.
We are not alone in this mission. Various partner projects that share the same ethical values will join us on this day. They will offer a range of products, including vegetables, fruits, cheeses, meats, and olive oil, enriching your experience and choices.
To make the most of your visit, remember to bring a basket and bags for your purchases. This is an unmissable opportunity to meet local producers, learn about how food is grown and processed, and experience the connection between producer and consumer.
An exclusive chance to stock up your pantry with healthy foods at affordable prices.
Also, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the various areas of Monte do Freixo do Meio and explore its natural and cultural wonders. It is a space rich in culture, history, and biodiversity, open to the entire community.
Bring your mat, comfortable clothing, and an open mind to demystify the practice of yoga. It’s a practice for everyone!
