Porches Pottery

Top choice in Carvoeiro


Watch artists hand-painting traditional azulejo tiles at this pottery stocking a vast array of ceramics, from fridge magnets to plates, bowls, vases, lamps and pots. International shipping is available. Opening to a bougainvillea-draped front terrace, its enchanting on-site cafe is clad in classic blue-and-white tiles, and serves light dishes (sandwiches, quiches, salads, cakes) on its own crockery at tile-topped tables.
