Stone on the walls, colme on the roof
Vive Cabeceiras · Uz · Gondiães e Vilar de Cunhas

At Uz, the materials also tell the story of the mountains.

The municipal presentation of the village describes stone houses and some stalk covers. It also recalls the name Casal da Urzeira, associated with the heather of the hills. There are two ways to read the connection between the village and the landscape: in the materials of the houses and in the memory of the name. The same description associates the village with agriculture, animal husbandry and the work of flax and wool. The portrait helps relate houses, fields and crafts. It's an asset presentation, without confirming how many hives remain today.
