Inserted within the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, the mountain landscape of the two parish villages has been shaped by the Mondego River and the Caldeir\u00e3o stream. The parish of Corujeira is included in the Corujeira and Trinta Parish Council.The village of Corujeira, built along the left bank of the Caldeir\u00e3o stream, is a traditional Beira village with narrow streets and welcoming residents. Its granite houses retain the typical architecture of Beira Alta. Its main economic activities are agriculture and pastoralism. The elderly used to say that every family had a flock of sheep and, even today, when you walk along the shores of Ribeira do Caldeir\u00e3o, you can observe some of the flocks of shepherds who are still maintaining this practice. Although many inhabitants worked in the textile factories of Trinta, the village of Corujeira became famous for its local potatoes and cheese . Ancestral practices of pastoralism and sheep shearing are still being maintained in the village, to the point that an annual Popular Culture Festival has been created to honour these traditions, known as the Jornadas da L\u00e3 (Wool Days), where the sheep shearing of the shepherd’s flock who hosts the event stands out.Religious Patrimony: Parish Church of Corujeira (\u2018Nossa Senhora das Neves\u2019 Church), Chapel of S\u00e3o Barnab\u00e9 (Corujeira), Esp\u00edrito Santo Chapel (Corujeira).Points of interest: ancient houses with typical Beira Alta architecture, Mondego Walkways, archaeological textile patrimony by the Mondego river, the Pateiro waterway and the hydroelectric power station, the Caldeir\u00e3o dam and riverside beach, the Museu da Coruja (Owl Museum).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria_ponto_interesse":[444],"duracao":[],"estacao_do_ano":[],"grupo_de_viagem":[],"tipo_de_experiencia":[236,307],"class_list":["post-19571","ponto_de_interesse","type-ponto_de_interesse","status-publish","hentry","categoria_ponto_interesse-localities","tipo_de_experiencia-heritage","tipo_de_experiencia-routes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
