Fajão is a small village on the hillside, facing the famous Penedos de Fajão "Fajão's Rocks " with almost 900 meters of altitude, among pine trees, woods of rocks and carquejas. Its history and that of its people are the same as that of many other villages; Sobral Valado, Cabril, Vidual, Gralhas, Relvas, Ponte Fajão, Boiças, Ceiroquinho, Cavaleiros de Baixo and Cima ...

The earth does not come on the map, it does not have great riches but its men and women, warm people, with hands calloused by the life and face marked by the sun and the cold.

Houses of simple and harmonious volumetry following the slope of the natural terrain, plastered and lime-colored inside white or cobalt blue, followed the narrow cobblestone streets, people, dogs, goats, chickens ..... no cars.
