Mora

Mora is a small municipality in the Évora district, and has four parishes. While the railways passed through the municipality and kept it connected to the rest of the country, several industries developed. After the closure of the line in 1895, the pace of industrial activity slowed down. Currently, agriculture, commerce and services continue to be the population's primary activities. Handcrafted products are well-known and frequented at craft fairs: pottery, harvester shoes, baskets and shepherd's boots are some examples. Gastronomy is ancestrally respected. The black pork meat, the "açordas", the "migas" and, in sweets, the "sericaia", the "farófias", the "pão-de-rala" and convent sweets are some of the most expressive flavors of the region.
