village, commune - administrative division
As most of the parishes on the island, this village developed from a big concentration of population around a small chapel.
The narrow sleepy tracks and alleys that criss-cross the village with its typical houses and beautiful gardens will enchant the curious visitor.
Part of the village is sitting on a rock, of which traditions says that it is protected by Saint Amaro so that Fajã da Ovelha doesn't fall onto the village of Paúl do Mar lying below at the sea side. www.madeira-web.com/PagesUK/faja-ovel.html
