    There are many artisans and vendors in the square in front of the Igreja da Sé. Scan them all before deciding on your purchases. Here you will find all manor of goods from bead work, wood carvings, paintings, linens, and clothing. Something for everyone on your shopping list.

    I am not a shopper, but I did get some beadwork from a vendor who was kind enough to ignore me as I sat and read the paper and wrote cards to my friends.

    All prices are negotiable, so do haggle.

    There are loads of people selling crafts throughout Olinda - althoug most are up on the Alto da Se during the day.

    There are some good deals to be had with linen - like table runners and place mats and the like. Also, the artists do some nice work with wood -- creating panoramas of typical Olinda street scenes.
