In our post of 29 April 2009 we talked about Ethical Tourism in connection with the Medicinal Plants Workshop we organised in the Alentejo.

It is a concept that stays with us and makes more and more sense in a consumer society that often pays no attention to what it buys.
It is essential that we are responsible consumers, that we favour local products, produced / made in a way that is ethical towards the workers and ecological towards the environment.
So on Saturday, 11 June, in the Aldeia da Pedralva, near Vila do Bispo, there will be another Craftspeople's Fair, which aims not only to bring life back to the village but also to help promote the work of local craftspeople. These are pieces made in Portugal, all of them with the passion of people who work with their hands and make their living from them. By buying a piece of craftwork we are all nourishing our culture, small-scale production and the arts!
See you there!
