Tuna and other fish being cut up at Mercado dos Lavradores, Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal.


Madeira is famous for its excellent regional products, largely due to the extraordinary fertility of its soils combined with the subtropical climate it enjoys. The Mercado dos Lavradores, which occupies a prominent place in the centre of Funchal, can be defined as a living museum where the freshness, vivacity and tropicality of the archipelago's flavours take centre stage. This commercial space was inaugurated on 24 November 1940. Since then, the Mercado dos Lavradores has been part of the everyday life of the people of Funchal. It has also become a must for visitors to the island, who immerse themselves in an atmosphere dominated by bustle and joy.
