[Tagging] Handicraft shop

[António Madeira]

In decoration, furnishing, jewellery or accessories shops you may not
(and most of the times you do not) find one single piece of handicraft.
These shops are called handicraft shops, not jewellery, furnishing nor
decoration shops for a reason and people search them because they sell
special and unique products.
In Lisbon airport, for example, you have a big Portuguese handicraft
shop on the centre hall next to a souvenir shop and with a jewellery
shop nearby. The differences are clear and well defined.

But this can be one of those cases where you have doubts.
Do you map: shop=souvenir + handicraft=yes or shop=handicraft?
Do you map: historic=ruins + ruins=castle or historic=castle + ruins=yes?
Do you map: landuse=cemetery + historic=yes or historic=cemetery?

Not everything is black or white. Reality as, most of the times, many
shades of gray.

Regards,
António.
