After several years of experience in the cartoon market, Livraria Manuel Santos opened its physical space in 1999, in Vila Nova de Gaia. About a decade later it moved to Porto. The Livraria Manuel Santos offers a great diversity of old books, first editions, Portuguese literature, monographs and manuscripts. It is a modern space, easily accessible. The Guardian, when voting on the ten most “COOL” neighbourhoods of European cities, put the neighbourhood where the bookshop is located in fourth place, placing Porto ahead of Berlin, Rome, Paris and Warsaw, for example. Here you can count on the experience and expertise of the book world.

Leiloeira Côrte Real was founded in 1998 and aims to sell art objects, antiques and jewelry through monthly auctions that usually take place on the last Thursday of each month, at 9.30 pm. These auctions consist of the most varied lots such as modern and contemporary painting, silverware, glass and earthenware, as well as objects from different times for decoration. A catalog with the description of the lots that make up the auction and the base bid price is prepared and made available to interested parties. The purchase of any lot may be made by bidding in person, by means of a purchase order or by telephone.
