High on the hillside north-east from Góis, looking down where the Celavisa and Ceira valleys meet, lies the little hamlet of Casal Loureiro. In the population census of 1527, ‘Loureyro’ is recorded as having just one dwelling place, and originally just one family lived here. A narrow tarmaced road passes by the old water tank (where there was once an orchard) as it approaches the village. There are several ruins built from the local stone, and a handful of newer, or renovated houses forming a square. On one of the xisto buildings is a white stone cross made from pieces of spar, built into the building when it was constructed. Around the hamlet there is some pasture, grazed by the local goats, from where it is possible to see the great hill of Peneda de Góis, and to Trevim, the highest point in the region. In the past, the hamlet owned land up to the Ribeira de Piães and maize was cultivated on the Baroco da Fonte, but the cultivated land around Casal Loureiro has greatly diminished over the last century. Behind the hamlet there was once a large vineyard on the hill, now replaced by eucalyptus trees, and they had a ‘lagar’ or press for making wine.

The old road to the hamlet can still be seen in the woods below, just wide enough, between two stone walls, for a horse and cart to pass. The old street was called “quelha” and was cleaned every day to collect the dung of the animals that was used to put on the fields. At one time the hamlet had a tower with a clock, and a room called ‘salão de relógio’ (room of the clock). You can still see the old baking oven. Where the elder tree now stands, was once a cart-house, and beyond were the stables for the horses and the granary. The stairs you can see still standing on the side of the street, led to a veranda, and in front where now the newer xisto building stands was the ‘eira’ (threshing floor). Unusually, the hamlet itself was gated, and the gates were closed every night, but twenty-three years ago there was a fire that destroyed a lot of the old buildings. It is said by the present inhabitants that many priests came from Casal Loureiro.
