RUA DAS RENDEIRAS

As in many places in the world, embroidery continues to be a traditional craft activity. It is in the Rendeiras street (literally street of the embroiderers), in the fishermen's district of Pontal da Barra, that the women who make the filé, a typical embroidery of the state of Alagoas, gather. You can see them making the pieces directly and it is difficult to leave empty-handed. In this popular and pleasant district, you will find many stalls dedicated to this traditional art, at very affordable prices. In short, a "smart" purchase.
