QFD's Favorite Spots
My favorite shop
I love this store. She has two close to each other, but I always find amazing gifts for others and myself! Amazing textiles, ceramics, candles and beauty products. They are also very nice and accommodating. Speaks several languages.

This is a great bike shop that will deliver to QFD. They have electric bikes as well as a good selection of regular bikes. Super nice and helpful. Prefer cash and do cash deposits.

Grocery Stores
This grocery store is a bit of a drive. But, if you plan on being at QFD for at least a week and like a variety of ingredients and organic produce, this is a good store to do an initial grocery run then supplement at local stores like Mini Preco and Continente. Plus you can eat lunch at one of the many fun restaurants in Almancil while you are out shopping.

Local Markets
There are so many Saturday markets. But, here are a couple of my favorites. Tavira because it is very close. Olhāo because of its size and all it has to offer!
This is not that inviting from the outside, but you step inside and it transforms into an amazing market full of spices, organic produce and fresh seafood. Really a fun way to plan your meal!

City/town information
This is a fun little town that is not overrun by tourists and once you find the back alleys, there are so many fun little restaurants and cafes. There is also a great market there that is open during the day from 7am to 3pm. Although, check the hours because it may not be every day!
