Bucos · testimony collected in 2020

Leaving with memories of the game

In Vila Boa de Bucos on 23 October 2020, Fernando Lima recounted emigrating after military service. Leaving interrupted his practice of Jogo do Pau, but he still enjoyed watching his cousin and the cousin’s sons. Before emigrating, he met other shepherds in the hills: playing was also a way to socialise and make the day with the flock feel shorter. The National Inventory record includes another link with emigration: Custódio Bastos of Bucos, who left for France, kept his lodão staff as a memento. His learning had passed through his father, Manuel Henriques Bastos, and Mestre Calado filho. There are also stories of return. In testimony gathered in October 2020, Fernando Oliveira recalled Ernesto Santos, who worked in Leiria, returned to Bucos after retirement and taught new generations. Leaving, keeping a reminder and returning to teach are different experiences within the same tradition. These are memories collected during research, not an updated picture of participants or training sessions.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Choose one of the three stories: departure, memory or return.
  2. You find in the text the person, the place and what connected your life to the game.
  3. Think of a knowledge you learned from someone: what would it take to convey it to someone else?

An activity to try at your own pace, without collecting specimens.

Gondiães and Vilar de Cunhas · memory and landscape

A house with three granaries

At Casa de Chouzas, three 19th-century granaries stand alongside the manor house highlighted by the municipality. The group connects two functions: living and storing the harvest. Rather than looking only at the main house, it is worth recognising the importance of buildings supporting agriculture. The introduction to Vilar de Cunhas places this heritage in a landscape of plateau and mountain, shaped by farming and pastoralism. House and granaries can be read in that working context, although the source does not detail each property’s production. The house’s dating is less firm: the municipality presents it as perhaps 19th-century, while assigning the granaries to the 19th century. That difference should remain visible. The photograph accompanying the reading shows the portal, not the three granaries. The heritage reference does not confirm access to the group.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Look at the photo of the portal and list only the elements you can see.
  2. Compared to the three granaries mentioned in the text: what depends on the written description?
  3. Imagine a caption that distinguishes the frame of the photograph from the remaining patrimonial set.
