NOTHING LIKE THE SCHIST VILLAGES
FAJÃO SCHIST VILLAGE
From the typical community oven to the public washhouse, passing by the old primary school from the days of the Estado Novo. The surrounding nature is also one of the village’s highlights. From there, you can almost see the source of the Ceira River, a tributary of the Mondego.
There is plenty to see and do in Fajão
Go to the churchyard and feel the coolness of the Old Fountain. Walk through the courtyards of the prison square and the Monsenhor Nunes Pereira Museum to reach the top of the village. There, the swimming pool awaits the summer days. Along the way, pay attention to the tramelgas that hide the locks, as well as other unique architectural details. Follow in the footsteps of its characters, sit at their table, and discover why gastronomy is one of Fajão’s greatest attractions.
SCHIST VILLAGE OF JANEIRO DE BAIXO
O Zêzere encontrou aqui, no seu curso, um duro obstáculo rochoso que teve de contornar. Um moinho escavado na rocha saúda a sua chegada.
So much to see in Janeiro de Baixo
Up ahead, we can enjoy the campsite or the river beach with its extensive sandy shore. In the center of the village, in the church and chapels, you can feel the atmosphere and hear the murmurs of schist in harmony with the Zêzere River.
