Tips
Only a couple of inhabitants and their large flock seem to contradict the feeling that time has stood still here for a long time.The village is bordered by two small watercourses and hidden by the lush vegetation that surrounds it. It has a simple urban layout, basically organised into two steep streets flanked by houses. The predominant building material is dark schist, of rough construction and, with the exception of the chapel, no other buildings are plastered.On the way out of the village there is a small and very well-maintained picnic area, and one of the most spectacular viewpoints over the town of Lousã.
