Discover the Rich Handicrafts of the Algarve Region

The Algarve region in Portugal is renowned for its handicrafts, and what better way to take home a piece of the local culture than by purchasing a unique souvenir? Skilled Algarve craftsmen make use of natural materials to create beautiful and functional items, such as hats, flat baskets, and mats from the leaves of the dwarf palm. The river Guadiana offers an opportunity to witness the process of creating light and resistant baskets from canes, perfect for carrying food on a picnic.

For those seeking to bring home a more ornamental piece, the region's glazed ceramics, pottery, small furniture, and wooden toys are must-have collectibles. Woven bedspreads, rag dolls, and delicate bobbin lace are also popular among visitors. You can easily find these items at shops and market stalls throughout the region.

Don't miss out on the newer trends in Algarve arts and crafts, such as glazed tiles, stained-glass windows, embroidery, and tapestries.
