The municipal guide of the villages highlights in Vilar the church and the constructions with tops, on a slope facing the landscape of Beça. The description links built heritage, agriculture, livestock and crafts.
Reading this presentation invites to relate scales: the coverage of a house, the whole village and the valley that opens before it. It is a way to know the territory from the documented elements, not the current confirmation of the conservation of each roof or access to the river.
The guide was born from a partnership between Cabeceiras de Basto and Vieira do Minho, within the framework of the Interpretation and Animation Center of Serra da Cabreira. Its presentation seeks to bring the visitor closer to the villages and people. In Vilar, the landscape arises associated with work: fields, animal breeding and handicrafts help to read the place beyond the view over the valley.
