The settlement’s implantation follows the plateau, and the main watercourse, setting a parallel-elongated configuration between the north valley and the south ridge-line. The north outline corresponds to a range of agricultural land and pastures, establishing a longitudinal limit between the granite boulders outcrops, where human intervention is minimal. The agricultural system results in two different land appropriation solutions, conformed by transversal bank-terraces and longitudinal agras (Bouhier, 1979). The first are individually and privately owned; and the second are managed in communal consortium, allowing their rotating exploitation (Ribeiro, 1999).
