Visit the Martim Branco White Shale Village - Almaceda

Martim Branco is a small village, located in the parish of Almaceda and situated between penedias of schist and quartz. The village develops from two longitudinal paths having a longitudinal configuration. One of these streets runs parallel and closer to the Ribeira de Almaceda.
It presents itself as a rural settlement where buildings destined for housing, haystacks, community ovens and dams, stand out for their modest layout architecture and with an interesting particularity: the fact that in the materials used predominate, without adulterations in most cases, the shale and mud. The predominant building material is shale.
