Capital of Olive Oil, in the heart of Terra Quente Transmontana, south of the District of Bragança. D. Dinis, King Poet, during his visit to this village, until then called "Póvoa d´Álem Sabor", in 1286, affectionately renamed it "Vila Flor", for the beauty of the landscape.

It has the best olive oils I know, excellent wine, and is eaten very well, as is the tradition in Trás-os-montes.
