📍Vide, Seia 🇵🇹
"There is a secret hidden in the lands of Vide. And the shepherds - the few who venture out on the difficult paths between the hills, in a village where the first road only arrived in the second quarter of the 20th century - kept it for centuries. They called it the “footprints of the Moors”, ignoring that its origins were much more remote: there, in the municipality of Seia, is engraved one of the largest and densest patches of rock art.
Yes, Vide goes back to the Upper Palaeolithic period - the archaeological discoveries started at the beginning of the 21st century, which gave rise to the local Rock Art Interpretation Centre. However, the village we know today would only begin to take shape in the 16th century, split between the two banks of the River Alvoco and divided between two mountains: on one side, the Serra da Estela; on the other, the Serra do Açor - joined by an ancient Romanesque bridge."
