Just 2 km from Góis, up a winding road (or sandy track – you choose) sits the little village of Manjão. The name of the village derives from the Roman “Mansio”, denoting that it was once a place of lodging back in the times of the Roman settlement in the area.
Manjão is still an actively inhabited village, where everyday life is carried on much as it has been for centuries. The people of the village work hard cultivating their plots of land and tending their goats, and can be seen from early morning going about their daily routines, later gathering in the village square to rest in the sunshine.
Originally a small settlement of xisto buildings on the route up to the mines of Libereiro, Manjão has extended up the hill to meet the village of Vale Moreiro, which has similarly extended downwards. Thus the two villages share a chapel and newly-renovated community meeting house, and Manjão benefits from the amenities of the café in Vale Moreiro.
Just below the village a delightful fresh water spring comes out of the hillside, where people of both villages still come to draw water. Old stone steps lead down to this cool verdant spring, that (some might say) still resonates with the ancient spirit of the water deity.

The village of Vale Moreiro is situated just 2.5 km above Góis, and has wonderful views down the Ceira valley to Vila Nova do Ceira. The name derives from "vall de moro" (as recorded in the census of 1527) meaning "valley in the hill". Vale Moreiro is still an active village of friendly and welcoming inhabitants, with the lively Café do Canario at its centre.
Originally a cluster of xisto houses above the village of Manjão, Vale Moreiro has now extended to meet the neighbouring village, and the two villages share a chapel and community meeting house at the point where they meet. Here the men gather on a Sunday afternoon to play a traditional game similar to quoits.
The land around the village is cultivated with olive, fig, and orange trees, vines, maize and vegetables for the table. The changing seasons are marked by the planting and harvesting of the crops, as well as the gathering of pine cones and wood for the winter fires. It is not unusual to meet the women of the village bearing long tree-trunks or bundles of bracken aloft their heads as they make the best use of every available resource from the land.
Recent archeological finds indicate that the land around the village has been cultivated for over 2000 years. There is still signs of an irrigation system built by the Romans who settled in the area to exploit the gold in the surrounding hills.
