The market, a bustling hub of local trade and industry, has been a significant part of Funchal's cultural heritage since its establishment in the late 19th century. The fishmonger's expression conveys a deep connection to his craft, as he expertly wields his knife, transforming the fish into portions ready for sale. The market's atmosphere is palpable in the background, with the sounds of bartering, the aroma of various food stalls, and the lively chatter of locals and tourists alike. Madeira Island, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich volcanic soil, has a long history of fishing and maritime trade.
