Portugal - O Tapete Mágico - The Magic Rug


Portugal’s entry: “O Tapete Mágico”- “The Magic Rug”

2018  is the European Year of Cultural Heritage, so we decided to celebrate and preserve our cultural heritage with our famous Arraiolos Rug.
As we all know, cultural heritage shapes our identities and everyday life, so it is important to preserve it and pass it on to future generations.
Arraiolos Rug is a candidate for UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.


Happy 10th Anniversary to all Schoolovisioners!

Good luck to all!

    What an absolutely fantastic video!
    I have fallen in love, once again, with Portugal, Carla and will certainly have to visit one day soon your beautiful region.
    But let's not take anything away from what is also a marvellous song too - you can be truly proud of this great entry!
    Good luck from Scotland.

      There's much more to learn about these rugs. Apparently, there exist astonishing connections between the Arraiolos cloth patterns and Persian/Turkish ones.

      The Arraiolos Rugs are rugs embroidered in wool, over a jute made of cotton or linen, characteristic from the village of Arraiolos in Alentejo, Portugal.
      It brings with it part of Portugal’s history, having a big Oriental and Persian influences in its structural and decorative base, conjugated with the local embroidery knowledge, through the use of the oblique cross point, also known as “Ponto de Arraiolos”.

    Great! I love carpets and was always fascinated by the way carpets are woven and done. Your Magic Carpet reminded me of a favourite fairy tale known as The Flying Carpet. Good luck !
