Mercado da Graça

We noted people walking down a road carrying groceries and Market Day was on. This market was set up in the lower level of a parking lot and Doug later found out that it was the overflow from the main market which was across another street, but was interesting just the same. Of interest were the small pineapples locally grown. On the tour of the island the next day we learned that the island produces 30% of Portugal's milk. We also had local mineral water at lunch and our accommodation gives us access to a locally made Licour de Amor (blackberry).This includes the processing and as I type this I've used Nova Acores milk (all UHT packaged) in my coffee and the yoghurt served this morning also local.
