There are two types of markets: <em>feiras<\/em> and <em>mercados<\/em>. A <em>feira, <\/em>also called a <em>feira livre,<\/em> is a market that is set up for the day on one or several streets, with food vendors selling fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, and flowers. The vendors typically come into the city from the countryside or outside of the urban area from farms, since there are <em>feiras<\/em> all over the city, though usually each location holds a <em>feira<\/em> only once a week. The street where the<em> feira<\/em> is held is closed to traffic during the hours the market is open, or the stalls are set up on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video of a <em>feira livre<\/em> in S\u00e3o Paulo:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Feira Livre S\u00e3o Paulo - S\u00e3o Paulo Street Fair\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J3JDoOgmyw8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And here are some of my photos from a <em>feira<\/em> in Rio de Janeiro:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2010\/04\/DSCF3017.jpg\" aria-label=\"DSCF3017 300x225\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-973  aligncenter\" title=\"Feira1\"  alt=\"\" width=\"326\" height=\"244\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2010\/04\/DSCF3017-300x225.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2010\/04\/DSCF3038.jpg\" aria-label=\"DSCF3038 300x225\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-974\" title=\"feira2\"  alt=\"\" width=\"321\" height=\"240\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2010\/04\/DSCF3038-300x225.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2010\/04\/DSCF3047.jpg\" aria-label=\"DSCF3047 300x225\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-975\" title=\"feira3\"  alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"253\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2010\/04\/DSCF3047-300x225.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Mercados<\/em>, on the other hand, are held in a permanent location  inside a building. These markets are open daily or nearly every day. The vendors sell similar products, but also sell cheese, nuts, oil, bread, and other food you&#8217;d typically find in a grocery store. These markets may also have prepared food where you can eat a meal on the go or even sit down for a meal. One of the most famous mercados is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mercadomunicipal.com.br\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Mercado Municipal de S\u00e3o Paulo<\/a>, or the S\u00e3o Paulo City Market, which is nearly 80 years old.
