    Madeira House

    Ignore the gaudy souvenirs and bizarre cork products. This is the best place to buy quality hand-embroidered Madeira lace and linen, including tablecloths, place mats and napkin sets. They also sell colourful Barcelos' roosters and beautifully glazed Hispano-Arab geometric patterned tiles - they make great 'features' for fans of minimalism.
