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.”

Livraria Lumière first opened to the public in 2001 at the Lumière Galleries before moving to its current facilities. Here you will find a wide range of new and used books, with a particular emphasis on Portuguese literature, philosophy and theater. In addition to buying and selling used books, you can also use Livraria Lumière to buy and sell other objects such as vinyl records, postcards, maps and other curiosities. It is a must-visit place for any literature lover who will not fail to find rarities and good opportunities among the numerous titles available in this bookstore.

Espiga presents itself as a cultural space inserted in the Bombarda Shopping Center. This is a place where anything can happen: dance, travel presentations, weddings and festivals.
Espiga, which means “Space of Imagination, Taste and Arts”, is a constantly changing space that is intended to be dynamic, cultural and with good snacks. The creation of Espiga was a result of a collective team brainstorming, that eventually ended up with the creation of this unique store.
Espiga has a gallery, a travel bookstore and, over time and due to its expansion needs, opened a store – Bazar do Espiga.
