This shopping center was as large and nice as anything I have seen. Interestingly, though relatively upscale, it had no large department-store anchors at all.

| Every now and then, you need something more than just experiencing breath-taking scenery,
 visiting museums and palaces, exploring old
 neighborhoods and sampling local food and
 drink. Your need...a shopping center!

| From the top of the old upper city, at first, I though this must be the local futbol stadium
 or at least the bull-fighting arena; but no, it
 was the very large and very nice Forum
 Shopping Center; so, for those of you who
 have always wondered what a Portugese
 shopping center looks like, here are some views...
 | 
|  | 
| The cineplex; the whole third story is food court...nice restaurants as well as the usual...
 plus the cineplex and a bowling alley (let's roll, dude)

|  | 
| The Portugese do ham too, though not as extravagantly as the Spanish
 | 
|  | 
| Wider, escalator view | 
|  | 
| At the Continente supermercado, the salted cod department | 
|  | 
| Our Google-translator is still working on this large display smack in the middle of the
 2nd floor of the shopping center; I am not
 at all certain what is going on in the depiction,
 but if you google "HighCareCenter" you'll
 see that franchises are available
