Ferraria de São João - Schist Village
Booking
Schist village characterized by its scenic and cultural richness.
Its profoundly rural character is reflected even today in the corporate relationship of its people, both those who were born and raised in the village, and those who chose it to live and raise a family.
Preserving and affirming its genuineness, its value, its personality and its characteristics are the objectives of those who live in Ferraria and of the entities that intervene in it, such as Rede de Aldeias de Xisto (Schist Villages Network) and the municipal entities.
Currently more open to tourism, Ferraria de São João combines natural wealth with rustic architecture and ancestral knowledge and flavors.
Lose yourself in its magnificent cork oak groves, observe the meek wandering of the community herd, walk along the trails on foot or by bicycle, learn to make bread, cheese, and finally allow yourself to (re)discover the purest essence of deep Portugal.
