Why would someone leave the city — and choose to stay here? In this episode, we travel to Manteigas, in the Serra da Estrela, to meet Inês and Miguel. They returned to a family house and slowly transformed it into a place to receive others — without losing what was already there. More than a stay, this is a different way of living. One that follows nature, time, and community. This episode is part of our Places to Stay series — where we explore spaces that carry stories. Entre Aldeias is a cinematic journey through rural Portugal — discovering people, traditions and landscapes shaped by time.

A life of resistance, memory and silence. In the mountains of Serra da Estrela, time moves differently. Every day begins the same way — and never really ends. Walking. Waiting. Enduring. A life shaped by the land, by animals, by silence. But today, fewer and fewer are willing to carry it forward. This is not just a story about a shepherd. It is about what remains… when a way of life begins to disappear. 📍 Manteigas, Serra da Estrela, Portugal Entre Aldeias is a cinematic journey through rural Portugal — discovering people, traditions and landscapes shaped by time.
