Portela das Cabras

Portela das Cabras, also known as "Portela de Penela", was the seat of an extinct Portuguese municipality, established by King Afonso III. In 1855 it was transformed into a parish of the Vila Verde municipality. "Portela das cabras" literally means "pass of the goats". The region had many mountain passes and whenever they became inhabited the name "Portela" was to be given to the settlements therein. The parish has an area of 2,34 km² and 256 inhabitants (2001).
