São Lourenço lives immersed in the greenery of the fields and the woods surrounding the village, at the same time being close to the Gerês mountains, giving it a landscape with a beauty worthy of being cherished. The cluster of dwellings is spread between a core of older houses, which are more concentrated in the centre, and surrounded by the more recent buildings which accompany the main access roads of the village. It is a centre of rural activities related to cattle, pastures, smoke curing, honey production and handicrafts; activities that occupy the daily life of those who live and work here.
