Vilarinho at a glance

Vilarinho da Furna was a former village, located in the civil parish of Campo de Gerês, in the municipality of Terras de Bouro, in the northern Portuguese district of Braga. Located on the banks of the rivers Homem and Ribeira do Eido, in 1972, it was intentionally submerged by the Portuguese state during the course of filling a reservoir of the same name. On WNDER, Vilarinho reads as endless tropical summer — strongest in year-round.
