Oficina da Moura

Oficina da Moura is a ceramic workshop in the center of Soajo, aiming to revive the memory of the earth, working stories into ceramic itself: enchanted Mouras and their boulders; owls, wolfs and serpents; heathers, hollies and birches; myths, cairns and stars that in ancient times guided shepherds and cattle amongst these mountains. These are the treasures that Moura brings to you, so that these mist memories become yours as well. Everything is hand and heartmade, with old methods and ancient techniques.

Museu do Traje

Reviewed By mishanny

I enjoyed every little bit of this museum. 95% is translated to English. There are exactly as many words as needed to feel the exhibitions. It is a very entertaining way to get acquainted with the region and its traditions. I was especially surprised by the exposition about making decorative things from gold - I would never imagine it can be so interesting and beautiful and I would spend half an hour in a room of 8 m2. I have also greatly enjoyed the temporal exhibition about a lady Fado singer from XX century, very inspiring and well organised exhibition, as well as the entire museum. Greatly reccommend.
