This is another Portuguese one room schoolhouse. They are a bit boring, but for a good reason: most of the Portuguese primary schools were built during a short period of time, in the 50's, following a global plan. Therefore, the layout of the schools are the same.

This particular one looks to be still active. Many of them were deactivated, due to the desertification of huge areas of the country, as people migrated to the cities and to the coastal areas.
