Home decoration and garden stores Recife

Still in the context of the "reclamation" of the city centre, the city has rehabilitated the old wharves, which saw the embarkation and disembarkation of streams of goods from one of the cities of Brazil. A commercial and artistic centre has been installed in a charming customs building, built in 1732. Initially, the building was constructed to serve as a convent for the friars of the order of Sao Felipe Neri. It's many artisans and antique dealers set up shop during the Sunday market.

Every Sunday, Bom Jesus Street closes and the stalls of crafts, paintings and antiques are set up. On Saturdays the Feira Solidária de Artesanato takes place in the same square, from 9am to 7pm. The Bom Jesus Street is also one of the most charming streets in Recife. Here you can admire a bit of the past and recovered splendour of the old Pernambuco, while tasting typical dishes. It's worth stopping by, discovering a bit of the culture and taking home a souvenir. The revitalization of the center is through these events.

One comes to the Mercado São José to immerse oneself in the atmosphere of the popular Recife and to admire its French market architecture. More than 500 merchants have their stalls in this beautiful building inaugurated in 1875 and many more in the surroundings. Handicrafts, typical products, food, medicinal herbs, religious objects... the variety is enormous! Probably the best place to buy souvenirs and meet the locals. It is a popular place, so stay discreet, no ostentation, no big bags, no jewels.
