  • We visit the Alcobaça municpal market to shop for fresh fruit and veg and we find so much more. Like all Portuguese markets it is more like a huge community centre where friendly locals gather to socialise and exchange information. We get to try out our Portuguese and we learn a great new Portuguese recipe involving avacados and port wine!
    Come on a market tour with us and discover more!

    @tuxdude1 2 года назад

    Going to the market has been the best experience for us. Not only do we have a better chance at supporting local businesses and growers, but it forces us to have interactions in the local language. It is somewhat easy these days to go to a foreign location and insulate yourself due to the various communication and streaming services the Internet provides. I was just in Setúbal on Wednesday and was very impressed by the market. The locals claim it is the best in Portugal and I'm struggling to find a reason to not agree. I enjoyed the conversation Lee was having with the fellow selling the avocados and it is inspiring to see how well he can communicate after one year in country. It gives us a bit of hope.

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  2 года назад

      Thanks, Todd. The market is most certainly a fantastic place to get the chance to interact with local people here. The experience between this and a supermarket is unfathomable. Even with some basic Portuguese people tend to be very patient and helpful and really appreciate the fact that you are showing respect by giving it a go. The Setúbal market is a real gem and a pleasure to spend time in, soaking up it's wonderful atmosphere. Enjoy! 👍😊 ~ Lee

    I think this is my favorite of all your videos! My friends who have traveled extensively in Portugal always emphasize how friendly and helpful the Portuguese people are! My Brazilian friend who is fluent in several languages has always told me that it is very difficult for English speakers to learn Portuguese as it is so idiomatic, but you both seem to have the basics down very well. LOL the best part was the mention of Ferreira port, which reminded me to head up to the kitchen and pour myself a glass of Ferreira port...in my case, Dona Antonia Tawny Reserve which IMHO is a fantastic buy. Based on the advice of that fellow, though...I need to try some of their white port...if I can find it in Indiana!

    It's the area of Portugal we're interested in heading to as well so we're keen to see your experiences.
    It's great to see, and hear, you having a good go at speaking Portuguese. Locals, and in particular the Portuguese and even more so in areas that are not "touristy", I am told, are extremely appreciative of foreigners making an effort to learn their language. It's not an easy one to learn, even for a naive Italian speaker that is also reasonable at Spanish, which I am.
    We're now subscribed and thanks for your sharing!

      Thank you, Mac Cat. Thanks to housesitting, we've been able to see a few different places in Portugal. We really like the Silver Coast and have made a few videos of this region now: Caldas da Rainha; Óbidos; A Dos Negros; Peniche; Baleal, Praia d'el Rei; Nazaré and Alcobaça... we're practically locals now 😃🤣
      Lee is far more dedicated to learning languages than I am - his Spanish is pretty good, and he can speak some French and Russian, along with his Portuguese. I'm still ploughing through Spanish on Duolingo- will swap back to Portuguese as I keep speaking my few words of Portuguese with a Spanish accent!
      We're so happy that you've subscribed and will be following our travels. Wishing you an excellent weekend! ~ Mandy

    Hi
    Visiting a local market is one of my favourite parts of any travel experience. I loved the segment about avacadoes. What an interesting man. A brief encounter resulting in a tasty Angolan dish and other great facts. Amazing! You can't put a price on that.
    I am in awe of your language skills too.
    Keep the videos coming.
    I am interested to hear what plans you have for the future.

      Hi Julie, Thanks for the lovely comment. It was a wonderful encounter with that man. These are the experiences we travel for so I wanted to include it all. I could have spoken to him for hours, he as so interesting.
      We'll be house sitting our way around Portugal for the next few months and then will see if it's possible to travel further afield in the summer. Still got a bit more of Europe to see before the Americas. 😊 ~ Lee

    IMHO, markets in Portugal area the heart and soul of the country. 🇵🇹 I loved each one we visited last year and wished we’d stopped to visit more! ❤️ The exchange between Lee and the local vendor is a classic! Loved every second. 👍🏻 Didn’t see live animals in any markets we visited. Do you find that to be common or occasional offering? 🐥 🐇 . The olives looked wonderful. 🫒 Great video as always. 🙏🏻

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  2 года назад

      Thanks so much. Totally agree that the markets really are the heart and soul of the place. I love going to them, even when I'm not shopping. 😂 We've seen live animal sales in a few markets now. The quality of the produce here really is outstanding! 😍 🇵🇹 ~ Lee
