Pedro Celorico
The Portuguese Element is an old refurbished Portuguese house located in the Old Town of Faro, a place full of history, totally decorated with refurbished materials.
My name is Pedro. I am an English teacher and I see myself as an artist. I write poetry, refurbish furniture (I have personally refurbished and decorated all of the furniture in the house. I like to give old items a new life) and create a lot of items. I am open minded and always try to learn from other people. I love to cook and I know Portugal well, but especially the Algarve and all the magic spots you can discover.
The old town is unique: you can walk around the cobbled streets, explore the cathedral, drink some amazing Portuguese wine in one of the restaurants, or just chill out near the Ria Formosa and watch the sunset.
