Completely uninhabited or with only a few inhabitants, these almost deserted villages have many charms to discover. Unfortunately, the number of abandoned villages in Portugal has increased every year. Despite the numerous restoration projects for rural tourism that are being carried out little by little, the abandoned villages persist in being maintained. The phenomenon occurs mainly in the interior of the country: Trás-os-Montes, Alentejo and Beiras. But it is also possible to find uninhabited villages in the Algarve, in Gerês and even close to Lisbon.
