Piódão, Serra do Açor ~ A wee tiny vilage at the very bottom of this mountain.




As habitações possuem as tradicionais paredes de xisto, teto coberto com lajes e portas e janelas de madeira pintada de azul. In wikipedia

Dwellings have traditional schist walls, ceilings are covered with slabs and wooden doors and windows are painted blue.

O aspecto que a luz artificial lhe confere, durante a noite, conjugado pela disposição das casas fez com que recebesse a denominação de “Aldeia Presépio”. In wikipedia

Due to the artificial light at night together with the arrangement of houses meant it is called "The Bethlehem Village".
