The parish of Gondar is crossed by two rivers that flow to the Tâmega river: Fornelo and Ovelha. The villag of Ovelhinha, located on the bank of one of those rivers, stands out for its river beach (beach of Ovelhinha) and by the roman bridge that crosses the river. Once the main village of the Gestaçô parish, the village currently has only about one hundred inhabitants. Its history is closely linked to the French invasions of the early 19th century, when several manors were set on fire by the invaders.

This mountain village, located in the Gouveia parish (São Simão) stands out for its granite houses. The chapel is located on a hillock. Nearby, there is the "mamoa" of Saint Simão, an archaeological site classed as a parish value construction.

This small village, located at the Mancelos parish, is known for the battle that took place during the French invasions of the early 19th century. It has interesting rural houses. In fact, it still has the house with a tower and battlements, medieval in origin, where the artist Amadeo de Souza Cardoso was born. The set is composed of the house, the cellar, the church with tiles and the painter's workshop.

A small mountain village, composed of just a few houses, at the Aboboreira mountain. Quite scenic.
