Small village, located at 13 km of the town of Guarda. The population during the year, is less than 200 inhabitants, but can almost double at the time of the summer holidays. Primarily agricultural, there are small grocers, a primary school and some services of proximity. (has to supplement) Its situation on a hill with 800 meters of altitude, makes that the sight the top of the village includes a whole part of the landscape, making it possible to see the communes in the neighbourhoods; unfortunately for several years, this sight has been disfigured by the multiple fires, which generally occur the summer. The village, surrounded before by forests of oaks, chestnuts, pines and even of fig trees, which “drowned” the landscape, is today only one sight on valleys and hills shaven and sterile. But fortunately of the projects of afforestation financed by the government, the area and it European Union are in hand, which will give again has this area the green which colors the Portuguese flag.
