Flea markets - "Feirinhas": "Feirinhas" - São Paulo's Beaches
Everyone is sorry there is no beach in São Paulo. Still, if it is a sunny weekend, go visit one "feirinha" - this sometimes means a flea market, sometimes an ethnic market. Have a look, not necessarily for the goods sold, but for the crowds gathered. Yet, you may find a bargain, if you are a collector and know what things are worth... My favorite is Praça Benedito Calixto - Saturday flea market (http://www.pracabeneditocalixto.com.br/) Teeming with people of all lifestyles. If you want to browse the stalls calmly, go towards midday, and then take advantage of being there to try some typical Minas Gerais' cuisine at Consulado Mineiro - before the wait gets too long, as it always happen. Now, if you want to see people, go towards mid- to late-afternoon. That's where a lot of people go to meet their friends and decide what to do later on. Chill-in kind of thing. There are others: - Feirinha do Bixiga - Sunday flea market Usually a bit quieter than Benedito Calixto - probably because it's Sunday and everyone's had their share of flea markets, but also very nice. Many of the vendors are also the same as Calixto's Saturday's. - Feira da República - Sunday crafts fair (http://www.feiradarepublica.com.br/) Stamps and coins are the serious businesses that may go around. For the most part, a lot of stalls selling all kinds of crafts (from a tad tacky to utterly tacky). Still, fun. The setting is beautiful. - Feira de Antiguidades do MASP - Sunday antiques market At MASP, on Avenida Paulista. Although it sells objects for the more serious collectors, it is not as much fun. Mostly because it ends earlier, as well... - Feira da Liberdade - Sunday Japantown fair (http://www.feiradaliberdade.com.br) A great day to visit São Paulo's Japantown, have a look at the crafts, and chose one of the many restaurants around to have a nice meal. - Feira da Bolívia - Sunday Bolivian fair Far lesser known, not centrally located, at Praça Kantuta (Canindé), it attracts fewer people. Stalls sell Andean foods and crafts.
