Cachopo is a very traditional Portuguese village, so don't expect high levels of tourism here. There are artisan shops in the village, and restaurants. Popular here are knitted garments, and woven blankets decorated with embroidery inspired by the wild flowers found in the fields. The saddlemakers of Cachopo still twist brightly coloured woollen threads into decorative flourishes worn by the mules used in the hills. The church is imposing with its steep steps. Inside, it is simple and there is a beautiful modern stained glass panel and an exhibition of statues. The old house next door has examples of the old way of life, with the donkey in the stable, with its head in the single room, which is the living area. The streets are narrow, and you may hear lively chatter, or catch a glimpse of the old boys, crowded into a room in the winter, or sitting outside when its warmer. There is also a museum here.
