Horta Market
This is a well earned snack after a drizzly day of touring on foot. Although they don’t look great, each of these fritters has something to do with tuna, and they were delicious.

Horta is an island in the Azores, belonging to Portugal. We made landfall there after 8 grueling days in a spontaneous tropical storm in the North Atlantic. Still a few days South and West of mainland Europe, the Azores are another week’s sail from Gibraltar, the entrance of the Mediterranean. The best cheese I have ever tasted came from the local agricultural co-op.


Although not from a farmers market, I love this image. MMMmmmmmmmmm, canned pig bits…
