Piódão, in the municipality of Arganil, is part of the circuit of historic Portuguese villages and is located on one of the slopes of the Serra do Açor.

It has been losing its agricultural importance, with the exodus of younger people, but it has been growing as a tourist site.

Its history and schist architecture are attractive.

Visitors who stay overnight can appreciate the atmosphere of Aldeia Presépio, due to its lighting, topography and geometry of the alleys and buildings, including the parish church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição.

This village is 100 km from Coimbra, eventually traveling along narrow and winding stretches of mountains, with stunning views of farms and small communities on the slopes of the mountains and valleys.

Waiting for the sunset at one of the high points must be included in your photographic itinerary.
