Grocery Shopping

PINGO DOCE
We are students after all so eating out for every meal, while tempting, can do wonders to both your waist line and you wallet.  You will be hard pressed to find any Harris Teeters or large scale markets.  You can expect to find small markets selling nuts, fruits, olive oil, and wine, but if you are looking to get your paper towels, produce, deli meats, cereals, and milk all in one stop, find your closest pingo doce.  I can tell you right off, there are none in Campanha.  The closest one will be on Rua Fernão Magalhães, which is 100 ft from the  metro stop Campo 24 de Agosto (2 stops away from Campanha).  Typically open until 8pm nightly.

...AND FOR ALL YOU FOOD ENTHUSIASTS! -- MERCADO DO BOLHÃO

Located in the heart of the city, this noisy and exuberant market is a sight not to be missed.  This fresh market sells everything from fresh fruits & vegetables to fresh fish to household goods. 

Listening to the fishwives hawking at the latest catch in true Oporto spirit is an image that has made this market a hallmark of this Port City's culture known throughout Portugal.
