Ver-o-Peso
On the waterfront, next to the quay where passenger boats dock, is the Ver-o-Peso ("Watch the weight") Market, where local products, herbs (including those such as aphrodisiacs) and talismans are offered for sale. The towers of the fish market are among the city's best known landmarks; the roof of the meat market is borne on fine wrought-iron pillars. Also in the market area is the restored Solar da Beira, once occupied by the harbor authorities but now housing shops selling craft products.
