Fishmonger

João Raimundo

Algarve

The strong voice, shaped by salt and time, echoes through the corridors of the Faro Market. João Raimundo is where he has always been, with steady hands and a keen eye, selecting, weighing, and suggesting. Here, each fish has a story, every choice a gesture learned through the patience of the days.

The Markets wakes to the rhythm of the market, between calls and murmurs, as João’s stall fills with life. The freshest fish, freshly arrived from the ria and the open sea, waits for those who know how to appreciate its flavour. This is a place of intense scents, a tradition that never fades, and encounters that are part of the daily routine for those who pass by.

From Octant Praia Verde or from Octant Vila Monte to Faro Market is just a short distance, but an immense journey to the vibrant soul of the Algarve coast. Where the Atlantic sets the rules and João Raimundo follows them with respect and mastery.
