Pottery Route

In Barcelos, it is in the parishes of Roriz, Oliveira, Manhente, Galegos Santa Maria, Galegos São Martinho, Areias São Vicente and Areias de Vilar, that the production of Pottery is concentrated. The art around the clay shaped in social, cultural and economic terms this entire territory, that extends today to the municipality of Vila Verde. It is also woth to mention the connection of pottery and the pottery activity to the traditional and ancient weekly open-air market, that further emphasizes the historical and cultural importance of this craftsmanship. We suggest that visit the traditional workshops where wheel work and wood ovens still mark the production processes. “Put" your hands in the clay and see how the pots, pitchers, pans, jugs, mugs, chocolatiers, plates, bowls, roasting pans, amphoras, amongst others are shaped and became famous under the name “Barcelos Crockery”.
