Piódão

In the heart of the Serra do Açor, the Historical Village of Piódão stands out as an authentic nativity scene. With terraces painted blue, the colour that adorns the windows and doors of the schist houses, the Historical Village of Piódão is a unique and beautiful picture-postcard. The most iconic and irresistible dish of the Historical Village of Piódão is known as chanfana (lamb or goat stew). Other highlights of the local cuisine are rice with rabbit and the desserts of rice pudding and sponge cake.
