Rua 5 de Outubro
Rua 5 de Outubro has rows of artesanatos (handicrafts shops) selling pottery, knick-knacks and cork products of every kind - postcards, wine bottles, hats, shoes, even umbrellas made of cork. The shady side of the mercado municipal is a good spot for finding cheaper pottery. There are more upmarket shops along Rua Cândido dos Reis, northwest of the centre.
