“Authentic island art gallery”

Reviewed 6 January 2013

Our hosts at the Pineapple Inn told us that Tres Puertas sells the works of local artists so we took a look and were not disappointed. Elke, the owner, is very welcoming and the shop is arranged with a caring hand. The authenticity was an appreciated relief from the tourist scene. Highly recommended.
