Barbosa Eufrásio Market (Mercado Varadouro) | Sigismund Gonçalves Avenue, s / n º, Varadouro, Olinda, 3439-2911. Stuck right at the entrance of the city, in the seventeenth century was the seat of the old Royal Customs House, where they sold products from Europe, such as tissues, which were hung on wooden poles with pieces of gold at the tips.
