The Lisbonese (?) flea market is one of the biggest and best i've been to. It is heaven. Portugal, in general, is not very expensive, compared to europe, and the flea market is no exception. Haggling was easy and the vendors were friendly and eager to sell. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
It's quite common for me to arrive at the flea market scene and think that the market is tiny and disappointing. only to walk a few meters ahead to reveal 4 additional huge blocks riddled with more and more vendors, each one more awesome than the next!
Lisbon is full of beautiful tile all over, and there is quite a handsome selection of them at the market:
You could easy find yourself paying 5 euros per can (if not 10) for these in a posh antique store in paris/london... here they are only 50 cents
some of my findings (look at those awesome cans!!) can't wait to go back
The Market's enterance is near the old brick gate. the small shaded park is just the beginning. circle the downhill park to find additional gems.
