Shoping & Dining

Determined to bring home an authentic souvenir from the Azores?  Well, you're in luck, as handcrafted items abound in the Azores. Items to look out for include:

• Ceramic items -- including hand-painted clay dishes, vases, teapots, and mugs
• Embroidery and lace
• Handwoven items -- including blankets, sweaters, and bedspreads
• Wickerwork -- including baskets and furniture
• Tea and pineapples are still grown in the Azores, you can get them at the airport.
• Azorian wine is good, but you must buy this at the airport as wine can not be taken through security as hand luggage.
