Disappointment

I'm sorry I didn't go to the gypsy market. There is plenty of public fruit and vegetable market in every city. I wouldn't have taken that turn to go to that market. Nice tour to the marina.

Gipsy market

I love a good market and this one didn't disappoint. I found many things that were very specific to Portugal. The choice of cork bags and purses was fantastic. There was also a vast array of Italian shoes and fashion at prices much cheaper than in the UK. The tour itself was not as good. We collected from a lot of hotels and it took a long time. The trip to the market was well timed but we only had 30 mins at the marina. The marina is mostly eating places and we did not have time to get anything to eat so it just felt a little awkward. Would be so much better if a smaller vehicle was used with a lot less stops
