Museu do Papel
On the same day, we visited the The Paper Mill, 
where we could see how paper used to be made.
It is a beautiful place, renovated with care.
We wished we could have stayed there longer.

The materials used - cloth made from natural fibers



The drying room was followed by the packing and paper bag making areas.
We will need to go back to see how paper is made today!
