Artcraft and Handcraft fairs

Natal has a few permanent artcraft and handicraft markets.
It looks like this: several (tens or close to a hundred) small barrows, either in a spacious loft or in open air, independently owned and run, offering several kinds of artcraft, handicraft, small souvenirs, etc. The word in Portuguese for this kind of place is Feira.
Always shop around before buying, as usually more than one barrow offer the same product. However low the prices may look, always bargain, particularly if you buy two or more items.
