Great handcraft at an unsual place
Casa da Cultura is at an old prison downtown Recife.All the shops are ancient cells and they sell beautiful Pernambuco ( Recife is the capital of the state of Pernambuco) handcraft ( clothes,bijouterie,ceramic,music ,embroidery etc). Don't miss a visit ,although is a little expensive compared to other handcraft shops.

Artisan Market
The old Pernambuco State Prison has been transformed into an artisan market. Our cruise ship (Volendam) had a free shuttle here, so that's where everyone went. There were some nice things here but it seemed a bit sparsely populated for such a large location.
