    Pêro Pinheiro, a village in the municipality of Sintra, gained notoriety "here and beyond" due to its marbles. At the beginning of this century, there were around 300 small and medium-sized companies dedicated to the transformation of said stone, much of which was extracted in these quarries in the region and another was "imported" from the Vila Viçosa and Estremoz area.
    Pêro Pinheiro has thus become the largest marble transformation center at national level, which has played an important role in the regional economy. In recent years, due to the crisis in civil construction, the demand for this stone has significantly decreased, ending up "condemning" many of these "quarries" to closure.
