The mercado de São José gives the temperature of the popular Recife. Built by French architects, the iron market of the São José district is directly inspired by the Grenelle market. It was inaugurated in 1875 and today you can find more than 500 stalls selling a wide variety of products: handicrafts, medicinal herbs, cashew nuts, etc. It is always very pleasant to stroll around and get lost before going to the patio of São Pedro. Be careful, however, when the market closes, the neighborhood becomes empty and unsafe.

Je ne peux pas passer à Recife sans passer par le marché Sao Jose et les petites rues commerçantes à proximité.
On y trouve essentiellement des produits d artisanat mais aussi de l'alimentation (pour un touriste pas pour acheter mais pour découvrir la variété des produits locaux)

avec fruits, légumes, poissons, viande et un peu de tout ! Nous ne nous hasardons que très peu dans les rues alentours de peur de nous perdre mais voyons quand même des maisons aux façades colorées (encore et toujours!) et des églises.
