Vodafone Ski Resort, Serra da Estrela, in Loriga.

Textiles are the principal local export; Loriga was a hub the textile and wool industries during the

mid-19th century, in addition to being subsistence agriculture responsible for the cultivation of corn. The

Loriguense economy is based on metallurgical industries, bread-making, commercial shops, restaurants

and agricultural support services.

While that textile industry has since dissipated, the town began to attract a tourist trade due to its

proximity to the Serra da Estrela and Vodafone Ski Resort (the only ski center in Portugal), which was

constructed within totally the parish limits.
