Textiles that left the village
Vive Cabeceiras · Formigueiro · tecelagem e comércio

Wool and linen travelled to the São Miguel and Santa Luzia fairs.

Formigueiro’s memory brings together throws, bedspreads, towels and blankets made from wool, linen and rags. The municipal guide connects their sale with the São Miguel fair in Cabeceiras and the Santa Luzia fair in Arco de Baúlhe.

Following these textiles connects work within the village with the movement of people and goods. The account preserves a memory of trade, not a list of present-day stalls.
