Nestled between the São Macário and Arada mountains, in the valley that opens up to the Deilão, Covas do Monte could be just another village hidden among the hills. But even before you see the schist houses and black slate roofs, it is the vibrant agricultural fields that capture your attention: a mosaic of greens and yellows that contrast with the aridity of the slopes dotted with heather, gorse, gorse and broom.

Today, it has few inhabitants, but the old primary school converted into a restaurant hints at a more lively past. And here, the famous community herd of goats (once numbering thousands of animals) can still greet you on your way.
