Thieves Market in Alfama

On Tuesdays and Saturdays behind the National Pantheon, above, there is an outdoor market from dawn to dusk.  There are lots of vendors set up under tents lining both sides of a hilly street. It was a mix of random vintage crap, antiques, piles of nasty clothes, jewelry, crafts and art.

This is at the top of the hill where the market seemed to start.

We just walked through the market and weren't compelled to buy anything.  I bet it is called the Thieves Market because it is so crowded you feel someone is going to rob you the whole time.

Yeah, this photo speaks for itself...
