The appearance of the market can hardly be dissociated from the traditional city center and the Municipality of the Matosinhos County. It is a point of reference not only to the residents but also to the occasional visitor, many of which are tourists. Because of its location, it has to be seen as the anchor for urban and commercial revitalization of Matosinhos´s historical center.

If you love fish this is the place. The No 500 and the train from Porto terminate outside. There is a great restaurant attached to the market which will cook any fish you buy. They charge €4.50 for doing it. They give you salad and small potatoes which is extra. Its worth. the trip.Upstairs is the fresh fruit, salad and vegetables. Unfortunately it is a place to also buy live chickens, ducks and rabbit which are caged rather cruelly by European standards. If your squeamish stay on the fish floor!

This sculpture right on the beach is a must-see. The history behind it is explained and when you see how the artist has depicted the suffering you will be amazed. Incredible!
