The municipal guide of the villages highlights in Cunhas a nucleus of concentrated old houses and the manor of Teixeiras Pereiras. It is a reference to the architecture of the village, without indication of access to the interior of the building.
The same guide tells two legends: one associates the name of Cunhas to a soldier called Cunha de Pau, linked to the fight against the Moors; another says that Santa Senhorinha had house in the locality. They are narratives of popular memory. The publication does not present them as proven events nor allows to locate a house of the saint.
