Arganil is a municipality in the district of Coimbra (sub-region: Região de Coimbra), covering 333 km² in 14 parishes. Most of it — 88 % — is forest land (woodland, scrub or natural pasture, according to the COS 2025 land-cover map): there, the strip around each house is 50 m wide.
The map finds 217 villages (groups of at least 10 buildings); the largest are Arganil, Côja and Sarzedo. 110 of them have forest land on more than half of the 100 m strip around them — among them Barril de Alva, Secarias and Vila Cova de Alva.
