In the middle of Serra do Açor, far from the big cities, you’ll find Piódãm, one of the most beautiful villages in Portugal.
Piódão is a quiet place with stone houses and small streets. It’s very unique and different from most places. In the centre, the bright white church stands out between the dark stone houses.
