On the south bank of Albufeira do Alto Rabagão is Vilarinho de Negrões, one of the most picturesque villages in the entire region, for its still relatively preserved houses and, above all, for being located on a narrow and beautiful peninsula a small piece of land saved from rising waters.
Vilarinho is thus a land that is seen daily in the mirror and distinguished at a distance by its perfect symmetry.
Nearby is the parish of Negrões, soul mate, which has an all granite oven. It's a monument to contrast with slender canasts, where corn and rye are preserved. Get ready, the Barroso region is unlike anything you've ever seen!
In the calm of the morning it's possible to observe some crested grebes and other waterfowl that usually spend the winter here, fleeing the rigors of the northernmost latitudes. As the first rays of the sun rise, the fog and the human neighbors begin to wake up, they move away to a small deserted islet formed by a huge boulder.
A stroll through Vilarinho de Negrões will be able to get into the rural spirit, appreciate the granite stone buildings and surrender to the dam's dam, one of five in that county and extending over a magnificent 14 kilometers.
In the center of the village there is still the community pool where the clothes are washed, the gardens where the vegetables are harvested or the paths that cattle go through. Every day at dawn and in the evening.
For a family weekend or for a few days alone, in full introspection, the destination of Vilarinho de Negrões is super suitable, as it offers the peace and tranquility that many seek in their holidays. Go there and get ready to take lots of pictures.
