This is the second post of my visit to Lisbon from last month of October.

This time I am posting my visit to the
Feira da Ladra which literally translates into (Thieve's Market), Ladra meaning Woman thief.
It is the biggest flea market that spans several streets of Lisbon's Alfama Neighbourhood.
It is believed that the market has its roots in the middle ages, the 12th century, when traders used to go to the market to sell their products as well as stolen goods (as the name suggests).
Relaxed and Friendly Atmosphere
The market has a great reputation because of its friendly atmosphere. The Sellers nowadays are legal
It is setup twice a week (Tuesdays and Saturdays) where SAturday been the better day to go in my point of view.
At the Feira da Ladra we can buy virtually anything we want.

A market with a view
The market is located between the Panteão Nacional (National Pantheon) and the gorgeous São Vicente Church where the world famous TRAM 28 stops. Nearby you also have the Jardim do Botto Machado (Beautiful park) where we can get a stunning view of the roof tops of the Alfama Neighbourhood and the Tagus River.
The market is not only to be visited to buy anything.
I decided to do a photo walk and make some street photos of the lovely Saturday
All photos where made using the
FUJI X-T1 and the
X-70.
