Most everyone in town speaks English, but there are exceptions. They do respond to a smile, pointing, and saying thank you in Portuguese – Obrigado (men or mixed) or obrigada (women). depending on who you’re talking to.
Most shops and stores are not touristy in products. They also do NOT generally take credit cards, so always have some Euros to cover any purchases.
