"Papelaria" is the Portuguese word for stationery but in some cases they will be also artist supply stores and in this specific shop it's even announced there, over the door: "Painters Materials".

This is a fascinating store, founded in 1921, originally with the name "Papelaria dos Loyos" (named after the square where it is located), renovated accordingly to the original spirit. Part of the furniture is original, which accentuates the historical nature of the shop.
