A Pérola do Bolhão, traditional grocery in Porto

From my friend

A Pérola do Bolhão is a traditional grocery store in downtown Porto.  This grocery has a large variety of quality products, from mountain cheese to dried fruits, from good wine to delicatessen and Portuguese traditional cookies. The façade has beautiful Art Noveau style entrance covered in Portuguese tiles. If you look closely you’ll realize that the images are of women holding tea plants and coffee plants, as the lettering on top refers to Tea (“Chá”) and Coffee (“Café”).
