Carrimá

The village of Carrimá sits on the very edge of the Góis region. Below the village the Ribeira de Foz da Cova and the Ribeira da Carrimá meet. The Ribeira da Carrimá marks the boundary of the Góis region at this point. The village is at the end of a tarmaced road, but older tracks lead over a footbridge and up the valley to the village of  Malhada , that has a chapel, and used to have  a thriving school. Other tracks lead to Relveira and Foz de Belide, from where the levada comes. The people also drew water from the spring of ‘Fonte Nova’.

In the past, the people of Carrimá mainly lived from cultivating the land and keeping goats and pigs – the meat was smoked over the open fire. Chestnuts were also a very important source of food. The maize was taken for grinding to a large mill at Boiço, and with the maize they made ‘carolos’ (a kind of ‘polenta’) and ‘papas’ (a pulp of cooked maize and olive oil).
Below the village is the lagar, with a partially new roof, and the ‘tulhas’ (storehouses) where the olives were stored until they could be pressed.
