There is a huge variety of local carboots and markets in the algarve for you to choose from on a regular basis. I love a good market and especially that atmosphere that is presented to you in the Algarve. I often get asked on expat forums which markets are available and when so I have put together this comprehensive list for you to use at your leisure.

There is literally a market for everyone so I hope you enjoy the trip to your local market or carboot sale.
