Casa das Conchas

There's no mistaking how the house of shells (sometimes called the Cowrie House) got its name. The whole facade is covered in them and they make a unique and attractive mosaic. The house sells a small selection of crafts, including locally made silver, and is a good place to taste a cup of smooth, low-caffeine Ibo coffee (Mtc50).
