The small village of Crato is famous for its pottery, which is still made in the traditional way. Potters can still be seen at work and purchases can be made direct from the craftsmen. Approximately 20 kilometres to the east is the walled town of Portalegre, near the Spanish border. This town is overlooked by the ruins of a medieval castle.
