Aldeia da Pedralva
Pedralva, Vila do Bispo
A rural village in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, on the Costa Vicentina, which once had around a hundred inhabitants. By 2006 it was down to nine original residents and some fifty houses in advanced ruin, only nine of them minimally habitable. The houses have since been restored to their original design under a programme of urban recovery, and are let as accommodation.
