Tapestry museum, not something I would normally visit, but there was not much else to do on a rainy day in Portalegre. And I must say it surprised me, I think I spend a good two hours in here without getting bored. The tapestry they have on display variate a lot in size and genre. Liked the ones from the sixties and seventies the best. There is one giant one depicting a scene in what looks like the Amazone Forest that hangs in the rest area that is just breathtaking.
