More from Paradise!
The most vibrant place in Funchal, the capital of Madeira, is the local market.
I was interested to see these trombone squash tromba d'albegna as it is a variety that I look forward to growing next season.
I also bought some strings of paprika peppers which I will dry in my dehydrator and make paprika powder. I suppose I will also be looking for a good goulash recipe too!
These monsters are an unusual eel like fish which is caught in the sea off the coast. They are known as Espada fish.
Here are another couple of stray dogs chilling out in the sunshine.

Hi Matron,
love your pics, looks like you had a great time.Like you I love to visit markets especially in Spain etc as they have such a wonderful variety of fruit and veg. The fish markets are fascinating too! As a dog owner it was nice to see that your friend supports the dogs on the island.

Lovely pics...as expected. Can't imagine how one can eat that Espada Fish with those monstrous teeth!
Matron,
Enjoyed the market photos and you commentary. Would love to visit there one day.
Those fish look fierce!
That market looks like a great place for a mooch round!
OMG, that looks like so much fun :) That dog in the last picture looked particularly menacing. LOL
Hi!
I'm from Portugal (but not from Madeira!) and I also love the colors and beautiful landscape of the island!
And I wish all of those dogs, could have someone to take care of them...
:)
