Full of green pastures and forests, the village/parish of Gradiz, in the council of Aguiar da Beira, has about 200 inhabitants, mostly farmers, cattle raisers, construction workers, resin collectors and bread makers. Very old, of German origins, Gradiz boasts its originally baroque mother church and the Chapel of Saint Iria, as well as the chapel of Saint António, the Vilhena family manor and the Vouga river spring.
