Semi-Precious Stones & Sea Shell Shop: She Sells Sea Shells....

|
Name of Shop: Semi-Precious Stones & Sea Shell Shop
As in every sea side town most of the gift shops sell Sea Shells of different shapes and sizes and Alvor is no exception, but This shop has probably the best collection of shells and semi-precious stones that i have seen on the Algarve. You can buy anything from a key ring to a large ornament that will certainly have your visitors talking. You don't have to buy anything though, it's just one of those shops thats nice to have a look around and children love it.
What To Buy: Nice sea shells and polished stones.
What To Pay: anything from .50c to E300

Last year this shop was a Chinese Restaurant, now it sells a wide range of items including toys, handicraft items, fishing equipment, and jewellery (as well as all the components to make your own) at very low prices, some real bargains can be found. You will not come out of here without buying something.

This is the smaller of the 2 Alisuper's in town and is situated in the Torralto complex (just near the Pestana Atlantic Hotel) It does not have quite the range of the other store but still has all the things you will need.

I enjoyed watching the videos you have made and it's very nice how you have made a link on your intro page to your videos...great job! | slothtraveller Fri Apr 25, 2008 10:34 UTC
Interesting page about somewhere you obviously like a lot. I would definitely consider this place for a visit in future. Looks like it still has a lot of character despite the impact of tourism. Nice work. | nora_south_africa Sat Apr 19, 2008 17:13 UTC
interesting page thanx | joleo Sun Mar 23, 2008 19:06 UTC
