Civado no longer has a sign announcing the village, as it is now collectively known as part of Bordeiro. However, the village still maintains its own character and has its own unique history. The agricultural community of Civado takes advantage of the fertile soils and good irrigation provided by the accessible groundwater. The houses are arranged along the road that runs through the village. A cluster of houses at the beginning of the street was in the past another separate village, called “Maceiras Muitas” (‘many apple trees’) Now this has joined up with Civado.

In the past people worked on the fields cultivating their crops, and on the fields there were many wells with water wheels pushed by oxen or donkeys for irrigation. When it was time to peel the maize cobs, the whole community would join in, and there was a game that was played  when someone found a dark cob, called in this village the “Espiga do Rei” (King’s cob), that the person who found it had to go round the group embracing everybody. There were many poems and songs around this maize peeling tradition – eg: “Se não fosse o milho do rei o que seria não sei!”.  After working around the maize cobs, there was always a lot of singing and dancing. We met one man, Adelino Lopes Pinto, now 94 years old and still with a great sense of humour, who in the past used to go from one place to another with his guitar, sometimes with a companion, to perform at the traditional “bailes and festas” (dances and parties) in the area.
In the 19th century there was an ambitious plan to construct a train line from Coimbra to Arganil. The course of the railway was to pass through Civado, and behind the village a tunnel was constructed, and a large embankment, that still survives to this day. Unfortunately, lack of funding and technical difficulties caused the project to be halted, and the railway was terminated at Serpins. Behind the village, at “Relva da Soma”, there was once a brick works, constructed to supply terracotta bricks to create the lining of the tunnel at Civado. Because the tunnel passes through glacial deposits, made from sand and boulders, the tunnel required support, and a brick arch was considered to be the best construction. The brickworks took advantage of local clays, workers from Civado and Póvoa were employed and the railway company imported coal to fire the bricks. Several of the buildings in Civado are built from the bricks taken from the brickworks after the project was abandoned, but the older houses are built from the round glacial stones found in the area.
