Silveira - Abandoned village (Aldeia Abandonada) - Remains of Settlements on Waymarking.com

This village was something great for me. You can spend whole day exploring it, house by house. There are still some chairs, tables, dishes in some of the houses. I'd say village has arround 20 houses, all of them surrounded by stone walls. Materials used to build those ground-flor houses were mainly stone and mud. There is just one different house in the middle of the village that made me think that "Rich Guy" lived in that one and probably owned a lot of land arround the village. If so, other houses were owned by his workers, farmers that worked on land. If you explore the main house in the village you'll se that its owner was rich. You'll even find some traces of attempts to restore it lately, but then, those attempts failed, as you'll see some works on the walls abandoned and even cement bags unopened but ruined by time.
There is no living soul in the village, nobody passing by, just heavy silence.
As I tried to ask arround about its inhabitants, I found out that there is only one person alive, that lived in the village, and he abandoned the village as a kid. He lives now in Alcoutim.
You can approach the village by paved road, all the way to the entrance, but do not try to enter the village by car, except if you have 4x4 vehicle. The rocks are hidden in high grass and will ruin your vehicle.
There is a lot to explore, house by house. You'll love it. If possible, use boots and full clothes not to scratch your skin.
