San Pedro de Cajas Attractions
The town of San Pedro de Cajas is a sheep farming area known for its fine tapestries. The tapestries are unique for their pastoral scenes, which sometimes include the use of tufts of wool in the picture.
Women work in the fields with the sheep while the men do the weaving. This division of labor is part of an old tradition in the region, where men were responsible for weaving the finer clothes and women wove pieces of lesser quality.
There are several workshops in San Pedro de Cajas, many of which can be visited, although communication is generally in Spanish only.
