Lisbon: Action Men

Plastic men for sale at the Feira da Ladra, Lisbon, Portugal.

 

Lisbon's flea market is called the Feira da Ladra (Thieve's Market). A market of this type is thought to have been in place in Lisbon since the 12th Century and the name Feira da Ladra was first mentioned in the 17th Century. Today, the traders here are perfectly legal, and they show their wares in the Campo de Santa Clara street, in the São Vicente de Fora district of the city, close to Alfama. The market starts at the Arco de São Vicente, and is held every Tuesday and Saturday, from dawn to dusk.
