Things to Do and See in Loulé, Portugal
Step back in time and experience the real Portugal in the market town of Loulé. Located less than 10 miles from Faro International Airport, Loulé began life as a Roman fort dating back to the 2nd century B.C. But it was not until the Romans left and the Moors took over that Loulé flourished into an important trade center. Nowadays, Loulé is a bustling city of working-class folks, far enough away from the tourist hub for that authentic Portuguese feel.
Every visit to Loulé typically begins at the mercado, a daily municipal market where locals go to pick up basic items. Housed inside an ornate, red and white Arabic inspired building, the market offers a medley of fish, produce, handicrafts, spices, local honey, baked goods, and more. On Saturday morning the stalls spill out onto the street offering even more options.
