Casas Pedro sits on the corner of the Rua da Assembleia with a deep yellow facade that keeps the original nineteen twenties aesthetic intact. It began as a small shop for spices and dried goods founded by a Spanish immigrant named Pedro in eighteen ninety-five. Over a century later, the shelves remain packed with jars of grains, nuts, and exotic spices sourced from across the globe. Customers still walk through the heavy wooden doors to buy products measured out by hand on traditional scales.
