Bazar da Lapa: Not a store; Not a showroom. A fair, then? Well, not really.

The Bazar da Lapa is (more or less) all that, but not exactly. It's a place where, in the last day of each month, citizens organize themed events and sell things, a little of everything. It can be lingerie, dresses, jackets and other women wear, boots,  shoes, purses, lamps, tables, candles, fabrics, perfumes, champagne, organic olive oil and gourmet canned-goods. From the last Wednesday of each month, the bazaar opens with a new theme. And every month, few know what lies behind that door, at No. 88 Rua da Lapa to Bela Vista in Lisbon. It is only known that the products are nice, they have quality and prices are good. Very good. For months in which they are clothed in a thousand and two thousand euros to 50 or € 100. You can find Portuguese products are only sold "out there" as in the case of sardines the "Pinhais e Cia.", which exports 98% of its merchandise. The idea is original. Source: Visão.
