Forja do Vilarelho

Located in the neighborhood of portela, this forge has about 70 years and is a good place to learn about the tradition of the region.
Belonging to a family's flagship in the transformation of iron, even today it is possible to visit it (being active) and take a piece of memory.
Here you can see the transformation of iron, since it is heated in the furnace until it hit the pestle, a large plunger activated by a pedal. In the end, if it's a small part, the mould is done on the anvil, and finally the piece sauced and cooled in the water of the Laver.
