Ponte de Sor

Ponte de Sor is a municipality in the district of Portalegre (sub-region: Alto Alentejo), covering 840 km² in 7 parishes. Most of it — 80 % — 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 173 villages (groups of at least 10 buildings); the largest are Ponte de Sor, Montargil and Tramaga. 39 of them have forest land on more than half of the 100 m strip around them — among them Vale Torrado, Tom and Barragem de Montargil.
