Flea Markets and Car Boot Sales in Portugal

Unlike the United Kingdom, car boot sales have yet to catch hold on in Portugal, although there are one or two up and running in the Algarve and nearer to Lisbon around the rest of the country, these type of fairs are not common.

You may find however among Expat communities someone organising their own fares, trading various sorts of bric-a-brac as well as information and knowledge, that can be invaluable not only for picking up a bargain, but as an introduction to a wider variety and schedule of events.

Though those flea markets and car boot sales which are established in Portugal do offer the potential antique dealer and bargain finder with a new range of 'junk' to deliberate.

In most cases you will find an overwhelming array of religious artefacts including statues, crucifixes and 'so called' icons. However to the more 'expert' eye there are still bargains to be had. Antique ceramic and metal door furniture, wrought iron bed frames and a plethora of carved stone items as well as many wooden articles.
