Estalagem Pateo dos Solares is in the historical
city of Estremoz, once one of the most strongly fortified places in
the country. Estremoz is on high ground overlooking the vast
open Alentejo plain. Beside farming, the main industry is the many quarries
in the area producing the famous
Portuguese marble. The area is so rich in marble that it replaces brick
as a building material, giving butcher's stalls and simple cottages
the sort of luxurious finish that is usually seen in churches and the
grandest houses. Within the town there is a thriving pottery industry
making high quality earthenware. |
