Mercado do Livramento

Buying tuna like Michael Ballack and other football players.

The market hall of Setúbal is repeatedly hailed by all sorts of lifestyle magazines as one of the best in the world. Now, like probably most editors in the world, we don’t know all market halls in the world. But yes, it’s fantastic. The focus is, of course, on fish. At some of the stalls, you might be shown football pictures of former Chelsea stars like Michael Ballack or Luís Figo as a tourist to emphasize the importance of the clientele. More on that in Troia. Anyway, foodies need to hold back so they don’t buy out the place. Closing time is around 2 p.m., so it’s better to come early. Those who get a bag of ice for their fresh goods and park in a somewhat shady spot can shop and then enjoy Setúbal.
