Parra, a bar-bricolage in Santos, showcases a unique and tasteful interior design that pays homage to the history of the neighborhood and the place. Originally a "tasca" and then a "talho," Parra preserves charismatic materials like pink marble slabs and vintage azulejo tiles, blending old and new seamlessly. The threefold layout echoes its lineage, with the main area featuring mixed-tiered seating against a backdrop of Rosa Portugal pink marble wall restored in similar to kintsugi technique. The design accentuates wine as the protagonist, with an array of wine fridges and cabinet displaying rare regional bottles. Soft lighting throughout maintains an intimate ambiance, while the bar offers dual entrances including a 'window' table that blurs the line between interior and exterior.
