Livaria Almedina (bookstore) was established in Porto in the early 80’s, at the suggestion of its clients who had studied in Coimbra and recognized this bookstore as a mandatory space for the purchase of their books.
Located at Rua de Ceuta, in the middle of a historic Porto bookstore district, Almedina serves a wide audience, from professionals interested in legal, technical and scientific books to lovers of literature in general.
It is therefore a bookstore specialized in the legal and technical book, while offering its consumers the latest novelties of fiction and non-fiction and even books for the little ones.

It already has 16 years in the market and is the only bookstore in the country specializing in poetry and theater. Valter Hugo Mãe called it a “gourmet bookstore” and, in fact, Poetry is a way of being that bets on its own editions as well as on the poetic arts of several Portuguese authors, English literature, Brazilian poetry and small publishers, representing also some of the most important Portuguese and foreign publishers. “Poetry heals, theater is life,” is the epigraph of this independent bookstore, where love for a cause is a source of perseverance. More than a bookstore, Poetria aims to be a “meeting point, for the exchange of information between people and books and for the dissemination of poetry and theater.”

Stationery with a huge variety of products available from national and international press, through traditional stationery (pencils, pens, cardboards, etc.), fashion accessories, tobacco and postcards for all dates and occasions.
