Description of the place: The difficulties of living in such a harsh region led to strong fellowship traditions. For centuries, people were used to share work instruments, bread baking ovens or cattle. The decisions were (and still are) taken by the village men in council. The river crosses the village, literally drawing the borderline between Portugal and Spain, but the inhabitants of the two countries have lived together for countless generations. The houses of this truly communitarian village have porches and are built of schist.

Points of interest: Dam; shelter and community oven.
