The art of braid Palm

The leaves of the dwarf fan palm, a plant native to the Algarve’s Barrocal and mountain regions, are used in this weaving technique, known locally as empreita.
Palm weaving is traditionally done by women, producing objects required for storing, transporting and preserving food items.
