Sardoal

Sardoal is a municipality in the district of Santarém (sub-region: Médio Tejo), covering 92 km² in 4 parishes. Most of it — 78 % — 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 75 villages (groups of at least 10 buildings); the largest are Valhascos, Sardoal and Cabeça Das Mós. 28 of them have forest land on more than half of the 100 m strip around them — among them Santa Clara, Saramaga and Casos Novos.
