Porto Portugal's Mercado do Balhao

Porto is a city full of surprises. Nice little shops, good new restaurants, great seafood, nice people, nice sunshine, wine cellars, great view. I spent four days in Porto and surprisingly I didn't feel bored at all! 

Bolhao market is a must see place in the city!! It's a more than 150 year old local market in the center of the city. It's THE everyday market place for the locals (not just for tourists). You can literally find everything in this market and the seafood and meat can be with the best quality in town. And several shops are the meat/ham/seafood suppliers for many restaurants in the city. 

Walking through the market place, I can really picture myself retiring here and shop at this market everyday :)
