When you stay in a Hotel in Alcoutim you may expect Blankets, but theres
so much more! Blankets, Baskets and Much More.
The ancient techniques of popular crafts are still preserved in the
villages of Alcoutim, where the locals continue to weave rag blankets,
covers and linen cloths on wooden looms (Clarines, Penteadeiros, Mestras,
Barroso, Vaqueiros) and where the women make shawls, stockings, straw
hats and lace (Vascão, Cones Pereira, Zorrinho, Lutão, Tacões, Vaqueiros,
Fernandilho, Cachopo).
