Rua dos Caldeireiros – That street that is worth going up and down because it is so cozy and typical, tall buildings on the stone sidewalk .. narrow street … takes us back to the older days. In the past, many blacksmiths established their stores on this street, many steelmakers, were made in stores and one was a boiler; thus, years later, the street was popularly called “caldeira street”. “Caldeireiros” in the correct form in Portuguese.
It is worth a break for a sandwish at “Sandeira” with your friends or a visit at the contemporary art gallery.
