As you enter the village of Malhada, either by driving up the tarmaced road from Colmeal or by the old dirt road that winds down from Colada de Belide, the first thing you will see as you enter the village is that nearly all the olive and fruit trees are hung with bright plastic containers or colourful plastic streamers. These are not festa decorations, but are to deter the wild boar from helping themselves to the crops.
The village itself curves round a little valley where white-painted houses rising up the hillside contrast with sienna-coloured xisto ruins. Malhada is a friendly and thriving community, to which many people have returned on retiring from work in the city. This is despite the fact that the village suffered a devastating fire some years ago, and has had to work hard to restore itself. (Since this time, national regulations have greatly improved fire protection for all rural villages.)
