Mós, Rural settlement in Guarda, Portugal.
Mós is a rural village scattered across rolling hills in the Guarda region with traditional stone houses and agricultural land. The settlement is organized around stone-walled farming plots that create a patchwork pattern across the landscape.
The village began in medieval times and has been continuously inhabited through centuries of regional shifts and governance changes. Its roots run deep in the area's development, though it remained primarily a farming settlement throughout.
The settlement reflects a farming way of life that shapes how locals interact with their surroundings and each other. Daily routines here revolve around the land, with stone terraces and field boundaries marking generations of agricultural knowledge.
The village is small and walkable, making it easy to explore on foot and see the layout of the farming land. Spring and summer are the best times to visit when the fields are active and the weather is favorable.
The ancient stone walls dividing the farmland create visible geometric shapes across the hills that are especially clear when viewed from higher ground. These boundaries were built over generations as farmers used available stone to mark their plots, forming a living map of the landscape.
