Feiras

On Friday I went to Jardim Botanico with some girlfriends and their kids (I have some sweet photos that I will share later of this amazing tree) and passed through the Feira in Gavea, and bought a dress for R$50.

The dress, and the fact that produce looked amazing, (though I couldn't buy any as it would definitely be a ball of hot mush by the time I got it home that day), inspired me to hit the feira again soon. So yesterday Canadoca and I set off in the morning to Ipanema (Henrique Dumont) for the morning fair to buy some fresh produce. Despite living here for almost two years now, I think I still paid gringo prices, but the strawberries I bought were absolutely to die for, and so was the broccoli, which is even hard to find at Hortifruti these days. I found a schedule of feiras online and thought I would share it with you. There is also apparently a farmer's market over by the Pizza Park, I will have to check that out sometime. Farmer's markets or feiras in the zona sul in Rio - here is the schedule:

Mondays: Rua Henrique Dumont, Ipanema

Tuesdays: Pça General Osório, Ipanema

Wednesdays: Pça Edmundo Bittencourt, Copacabana

Thursdays: Pça Nossa Sra Auxiliador, Leblon or R. Ronald de Carvalho, Copacabana

Fridays: Pça Nossa Senhora da Paz, Ipanema or Pça Santos Dumont, Gávea

Saturdays: R. Frei Leandro, Lagóa

Sundays: Av. Lineu de Paula Machado, Lagóa, or Pça Serzedelo Correia, Copacabana

I don´t know whether you already do this, but you should also check out the Cobal market in Leblon. It is an area with produce stores and restaurants in an open air area next to Flamengo club in Leblon.
