In this one-street village there is a new community spirit.
A small village of just one street, basically built from quartzite. It is situated on one of the flanks of the quartzite ridge which gives rise to the Fragas de São Simão and has the oldest chapel in Figueiró dos Vinhos municipality.
The village extends along a ridge almost parallel to the course of the Ribeira de Alge. The entrance to the village is at the highest end and the place ends where the slope made it difficult to continue the street.
