“Casa do Vale das Hortas”
“Casa do Vale das Hortas” was once one of the largest weaving centers of the Alcoutim municipality. According to available data, in mid-1977, this weaving center was equipped with four looms, Jacquard’s type handled only by men and that have replaced the previous hand looms, used mainly by women. With the modern times, this activity was abandoned until the early 1990s. At that time, the recovery of the facilities was started.
However, such restoration works were never completed. In mid-2007, the recovery of the house was resumed, now under a new command, this time to transform this beautiful place into a rural tourism house. These works were completed in April 2008.
