1. Loulé
Market, Portuguese
If a great gypsy market is what you’re looking for (and you don’t mind hopping in a car or bus to visit it), Loulé is where you’ll find one of the best in the Algarve. Taking place every Saturday, the market runs alongside the town’s farmer’s and fish markets, which offer fresh local produce. Loulé is a charming historic spot that’s not always on tourists’ radars, though it’s still considered one of the better-known among Portugal’s underrated places to visit thanks to its eye-catching markets.
