The mercado de São José immerses visitors in the daily life of the working-class Recife. Designed by French architects, the iron market in the São José district was directly inspired by the Grenelle market. It was inaugurated in 1875, and today boasts over 500 stalls selling a wide variety of products: handicrafts, medicinal herbs, cashew nuts and more. It's always a pleasant place to stroll around and get lost before returning to the Patio de São Pedro. But beware: when the market closes, the district empties and becomes 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.
