  Assomada Market

  We recommend visiting the Assomada Market on Wednesdays or Saturdays, when there is more movement and variety. In Assomada the market has two floors, selling on the lower floor fruit, vegetables, bread and meat and on the upper clothing and footwear. Even if you're not interested in anything you sell on the first floor, you should go there and look. It is up there that we have a splendid view for the magnificent color and agitation of the main zone. From here we can feel Africa.

  The course is located three kilometers from the village, in a place (ironically) called Chão Bom. A trip here is absolutely mandatory. As a Portuguese, she was especially interested, since the concentration camp is part of the history of my country. From a dark time, when dictatorship reigned. What is also called the Slow Death Camp began to receive opponents of the dictatorship of Salazar in 1936. Here 32 prisoners died and many more suffered ills that surely will have marked them for life.
