Vilarinho das Furnas saw the hour of its destruction arrive in 1969. Huddled at the base of the Sierra Amarela, the village was situated between the rivers Homem and Eido.
Frozen into a system of communal pastoral life, their sole means of defeating the harsh conditions, the village disappeared under a layer of cold and stagnant water, which had for so many years given it life.
