Moscoso, in Rio Douro, links the landscape of the Cabreira to the memories of a rural community. The municipal presentation recalls the former designation Val de Moscas and the relationship of the village with Nariz do Mundo.
Among the customs described is that of wetting cows before sunrise, on the morning of 24 June, to ward off the evil eye. It is a tradition of St. John collected by the source, not a practice of proven effectiveness nor an activity announced for visitors. The reference does not confirm that the custom continues today.
