ha ha so funny 😂 I was in this village a couple of days ago. and it was raining like this. Maybe we were there the same day. nice to see this place on YT
Great to see you, Eileen. What a stunning village, especially in the rain! So much hard work has been done. Thanks for sharing your visit with us, Alex
The worst thing about the rain is needing glasses; although I'll admit the slipping around, mud, cold and time needed to dry out are up there too. You come across some great, very different places. These valley houses could be great for getting kids to bed, as judging by the shadows sunset would come early. That's a plan!
I can also imagine some nice stargazing on the front deck after putting kids to bed would be nice 😁 and yes, glasses are always interesting in this kind of weather. Also camera equipment 😉
they are definitely steep.. but the café for example is an easier flat walking distance from the carpark if you would ever want to stop by and enjoy the view
Thank you very much Eileen for sharing such interesting treasures and giving holiday possibilities and creative pleasure🙏 I like the sound of your voice and, if course the information you give in a very natural peaceful way. People who does projects like this must have big dreams and a lot of force and endurance! Lots of respect 👍🙏
thankyou for the compliment, so glad to hear 😁🙏🏽 yeah, people who take on projects like this must have a very strong vision and ambition to complete to such standard, very inspiring!
Wow what a fantastic job they did renovating the houses,too bad they didn’t do more houses!!Gorgeous place such a shame that these houses get abandoned to begin with ,that view would make me stay and live there for sure
You're back! We missed you 😊 As usual, beautiful views and we love what they've done with the place. p.s. who doesn't like a nice cleansing downpour every so often
i spend 1 week at casal novo village last year... great view on Lousa, nice quiet places. Went to Talasnal village and Castelo de Lousa, then back to Casal Novo, all by walking trough nature...
Love this place, thanks for the tour! My wife and I stayed in a schist village called Bocado a couple years back now and fell in love. Hope to come back very soon.
There are a loooooooooooot of abanoded places in Portugal. Not only in the mountains, also in the bigger cities a lot of empty houses falling down unfortunatly..
thanks! No none of the restored houses are for sale, I think there was 1 ruin that might be for sale. That ruin has a different owner then all the restored ones.
Great video and nice village. How they make the buildings waterproof? Waterproof sealer? I dont see any rendering on the external walls to withstand the rain. I would assume the mold is popping up from time to time inside the buildings if no sealant is used?
I don't now much about their structural approach. I have however stayed in the hostel and all the walls seemed very rigged and sealed. You can check out their website maybe for more info www.cerdeirahomeforcreativity.com/
Hello, so where I am standing while I am talking in the intro is already the parking spot. You can also see bit of the parking spot at 00:55. And then from there you walk into the village.
Well with all rain remember Scotland where I did live 11 years It seems a great place to go visit and stay and hiking . 🥰🥰 It seems a great place to go visit and stay and hiking .What is the place that rents ? Great work .
thanks 😁Ahhh yes did resemble a the Scottish weather. You can rent this place by going to their website, here is the link www.cerdeirahomeforcreativity.com
It is more short term rental, like weekends and weeks. but I guess sometimes people rent it for a month or so. Mostly artists that decide to work on their craft there for a while
É com profunda consternação que, à distância, assisto a este atentado ambiental na serra da lousã. Pelo menos desde o grande incêndio de 1997 que as madeireiras - com a criminosa cumplicidade das autoridades “competentes” - por lá têm perpetrado as maiores agressões (tornando as encostas escalvadas e, inevitavelmente, sáfaras, deixadas assim demasiado vulneráveis à erosão) com total impunidade. Por outro lado, é muita ingenuidade destes porta-vozes (influencers digitais) e cronistas da desgraça acharem que os seus interlocutores-internautas, no conforto dos seus distantes lares, irão fazer algo de relevante para deter os motosserras. No caso específico da Cerdeira, hoje em dia parece um parque temático. Aldeia de casa de bonecas sem vida, sem "alma". Nessa vitrine de arquitetos e artesãos elitistas, a artificialidade comercial é constrangedora. Tornou-se apenas um projeto empresarial orientado para o turismo. Um par destas aldeias até adotaram um slogan (em inglês, pois claro) que as define como centros turísticos desligados da verdadeira sustentabilidade. Praticamente ninguém cultiva os campos em redor; muito menos cuidam da floresta. Bem, a boa notícia é que algumas espécies da fauna silvestre estão a recuperar e expandir os seus efetivos populacionais - o que aconteceria na mesma, caso os neo "rurais"-empresários-influencers lá estivessem ou não. Claro que sou a favor da inovação e, de alguma forma , temos que tentar nos adaptar ao melhor do zeitgeist, mas sem a sustentabilidade sócio-ambiental, essas “melhorias” nas aldeias pouco mais são do que decorações natalícias para endinheirados urbanos, sob a gestão de meia dúzia de empreendedores filhinh@s de papai, hippies de butique, bem como uns quantos oportunistas. Não vejo que cultivem valores comunitários, mantendo apenas uma forte ligação entre o ego e a conta bancária. Se fossem aldeias realmente vivas e funcionais, ao invés de poses e apelos na Internet, poderíamos emular o que aconteceu em no Vale do Lila, em Valpaços... Os melhores aliados não são os que estão sentados à secretária, curtindo o ar condicionado e compactuando com distopias ambientais pelo temor serem prejudicados nas suas carreiras, caso façam a coisa certa e impeçam os crimes das madeireiras. Os melhores aliados são os que vivem diretamente da terra, tendo as mãos calejadas pela enxada, sem dependerem inteiramente dos supermercados, dos subsídios, das doações do estrangeiro, de engabelarem turistas,... Na ausência de práticas agroflorestais sustentáveis geridas pelos campesinos (de múltiplas origens e não necessariamente rústicos), como podemos ter a valorização das terras comunitárias?! Pouco ralada certamente estará a família que detém o feudo empresarial da Cerdeira, pois a sua ligação com a natureza silvestre que a rodeia é bem fraca. Eu morei nessa aldeia e nunca sequer os vi passear por aquelas matas declivosas; muito menos plantar carvalhos, castanheiros e outras importantíssimas espécies da floresta autóctone. Só cortavam o mato à volta da casa que habitavam. (Apesar de já terem carro há vários anos, numa casa em ruínas na entrada da aldeia, bem na frente da sua oficina, acumulavam uma quantidade impressionante de lixo, destacando-se centenas de fraldas descartáveis de dois filhos! Que javardice!! Eu e um ex colega é que tivemos que limpar essa porcaria dos alemães... E ainda atiravam junto de uma linha d´água os dejetos misturados com químicos agressivos de um WC portátil ao serviço dos turistas...) Para enfatizar como estão desligados da natureza silvestre envolvente, são incapazes de identificar sequer uma dezena de espécies da avifauna (ou de qualquer outro grupo faunístico) que facilmente podem avistar ao seu redor... Mas é provável que, por uma módica quantia, consigam que os seus clientes incorporem a alma de Auguste Rodin e ainda tenham os seus “chakras alinhados”; talvez até “curem cancros” enfiando cristais em cavidades corporais... Pagando um pouco mais, até terão direito a um transcendente workshop destinado a estrangular no berço quaisquer resquícios de consciência pesada pelos privilégios de casta (& etnia), confirmando como o universo @ considera “especial”... A velha alemã até vos asseverará que todos os que discordam dela não passam de “canibais”( wetikos)! É, não faz por menos... Em princípio, o desmatamento em causa não prejudicará os seus rendimentos económicos, até porque já estão a investir (nas redes sociais-digitais) em vídeos promocionais, assegurando potenciais clientes que o seu “paraíso continua aprazível e imaculado” ... O que eles chamam de “sustentabilidade” pouco mais são do que ações pontuais, desenraizadas de promoção de eventos capitalizados. A hospitalidade rural que deu fama mundial aos portugueses, ali foi substituída pela “simpatia” interesseira reservada apenas aos potenciais clientes. Visitantes que não lhes entreguem dinheiro (e os seus preços são exorbitantes!) não são bem-vindos. Revisitando o lugar, confirmei isso pessoalmente e ainda repeti a experiência com amigos meus.
Where is the location Fatima Church,If it is not there then this place is not Portigul wher Mother Mary appeared to three shpherd children in the year 1917 through the month of may till October 13th.What happend to the statues and the famous Church!
Yes.. Portugal has a lot of former African colonies, like Angola, Mozambique, Cabo Verde to name some. So in the Algarve and Lisbon area there are many African-Portuguese people. More inland not that much.
A ten stars village-Hotel, no phone, no internet, just you and God, and peace.
Exactly 😁
Seriously!! That’s the dream life .. living recluse from everyone..Just me and God :)
ha ha so funny 😂 I was in this village a couple of days ago. and it was raining like this. Maybe we were there the same day. nice to see this place on YT
haha could have been there on the same day!
So they are holiday homes now & not for sale only renting.
She's Irish! I love it.

Such a Beautiful place. It would be a wonderful place to visit for peace and tranquility. They did a wonderful job.
The worst thing about the rain is needing glasses; although I'll admit the slipping around, mud, cold and time needed to dry out are up there too.

Lovely terrace open to a valley
Imagine the sunset there 🌅
Wish I was as young as you are to climb those steep alley ways
they are definitely steep.. but the café for example is an easier flat walking distance from the carpark if you would ever want to stop by and enjoy the view
Superleuk filmpje, dank je wel 😍🌹🌹🌹

Yes correct, 5 villages in the area of Lousã and there are 27 aldeias do Xisto in the central region of Portugal even! Have you seen any of them?
@@tworiversprojects many of those
Gorgeous place so nice to live there. Why in many vlogs i watched theres a lot of place that was abandoned. Specially on mountain areas

Eileen, I love the mountains views are there others that are for sale? And your hair is absolutely beautiful.
thankyou 🍀 there supposedly is one ruin for sale, but all the renovated one are more vacation rental
Hi, great video as always. I would have a question! If everything is for rent, they have nothing to sell?
thanks! No none of the restored houses are for sale, I think there was 1 ruin that might be for sale. That ruin has a different owner then all the restored ones.

Hi Eileen. Can you tell me, please, what the series of numbers T1, T2, T3, etc. in the titles to many of your videos refer to? Thank you.
hello! Sure, T1 in Portugal usually means that it is a house/appartment with one bedroom, T2 with two bedrooms etc. hope it helps 😀
@@tworiversprojects Yes, it helps, and thank you.
❤❤❤
😇
Namastê 💖😘

Where is there parking near here? Do you park somewhere and just walk the rest of the way?
Hello, so where I am standing while I am talking in the intro is already the parking spot. You can also see bit of the parking spot at 00:55. And then from there you walk into the village.

does the rain follow irish people everywhere they go 🙂
Nice village, it is worth it, if internet and groceries are available
Haha I think it does ☔️ groceries you have in a 15 minute care ride, but the do have wifi!
