In Monsaraz there are several tourist shops which sell hand crafts. One of them, situated by the main entrance will let you see some ladies do some weaving on the machines. It is surely nice to observe the old traditions being kept alive.
Apart from weaving, the terracotta products (painted) are also very typical of this area of Portugal.

Local Customs: Bullfight

Bullfighting is a traditional custom of Alentejo. Although bullfighting in Portugal is different from the one practiced in Spain (in Spain the bull is killed on the arena and in Portugal it is forbidden to kill the bull as part of the show), there are some villages near the border which practice the same bullfighting as in Spain, meaning: they kill the bull as part of the show. Monsaraz, though, is not included on the villages which do it.
In Monsaraz the bullfighting is a great happening and it is a chance for some young locals to prove how brave they are by fighting the bull.
Not being a bullfight lover, this is all I may say about this “show”.

Kudos, I love that you're building up your page on Portugal, a most revered place for me as well. Love the fotos. I will do my share especially on Lisboa, my favorite of all cities, when I get my own fotos - my act together! Thanks. | HORSCHECK Wed Feb 9, 2005 20:40 UTC

great pics, in particular the sunset at the lake and the view from the castle ... and: great to read that the bullfights in Portugal are more civilized than in Spain :-)) |
