Feira de Caruaru

This fantastic open-air market, the largest in Northeast Brazil, takes place daily. Here, as the songwriter Luis Gonzaga put it, "it is possible to find a little of everything that exists in the world." Look for pottery, leather goods, ceramics, hammocks, and baskets. On Saturday, roving musicians provide a soundtrack to shopping with violins and folk music.
