This picture was taken in a Village called Montesinho "SmallMountain" which belongs to the Natural Park of Montesinho preserved by the state. The name came from a small moutain, i´ll post it on workshop one of this days, next to the village. There are other villages in this park but Montesinho village is of course the most significant because the only way in is the only way out, unless you have a 4X4 Jeep and get out throught the mountains.
Montesinho has 20 to 30 citizens leaving there all year but as it is such a beautiful place to visit and the perfect spot to rest there are many houses to rent and a lot of people pass their weekends there. My parents live in the city, but not for long :), because they bought a small rock house there, restored it and every single weekend is passed 300 Km from the city and away from me :)!

This picture represents the work of people in the month of June and most important, the existence of this kind of work know a days. All citizens and most of the foreign people like to help on this traditional but indispensable work, it´s a matter of survival not a hobby. With straw people feed their animals which will help on other country work, like the plantation of patatoes, tomatoes, carrots, latace, etc!

Hope you like it and if any time you visit Portugal, go and ask for Montesinho in Bragança, it´s worthy!
