When we are in Arraiolos, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous art of embroidery, widely applied to carpets for decorative purposes and normal use. This is an ancient legacy of a territory whose memories go far back in the mists of time and whose high point is the village of whitewashed houses from which there is a view over never-ending fields. The countryside here is replete with oak groves. Once crossed by trains, it is now a marvellous space for walkers.
