Aigra Velha
Part of the network of Aldeias do Xisto, this group of four villages of the Góis council – Comareira, Aigra Nova, Aigra Velha and Peena – are integrated in a panoramic street that links them to Trevim, the highest point of the Lousă mountain range, and Santo António da Neve and other villages located to the opposote side of the mountain. It’s with the eyes set to the heights that one appreciates the existence of these villages-memory and their recent and progressive transformation to villages-future, calling to each one of them a new soul that the most beautiful schist rock, on its own, cannot tell.
Here you can still hear ancient tales of traders’ caravans that wandered around the mountain range and stopped over to stay the night. There were wolves in the night, which led to a curious arrangement between the villagers: the only street was closed off and there were indoor connections between the houses. These schist walls surrounded by foliage are the main shelter before setting off to discover the Oitava forest and the stream of Pena.
