Arraial d’Ajuda: Shopping
In my opinion, the best shopping is in the old village, but by all means check out the more upscale offerings all along the Estrada do Mucugé too. An interesting shop in the Praça Brigadeiro E. Gomes is the Casa de Renda, with hand-made and hand-painted fabrics. There is also a well-stocked souvenir store on the far corner of the praça, opposite the church. While you’re hanging around the old town praça, take a look inside the Claudio Macedo, Atelier de Madeira for a look at some interesting wood sculpture.
