View from the barn-floor place, at the entrance of Talasnal, a schist village of central Portugal in Lousã council. It suffered a decline of population and now it has no permanent residents. Nevertheless it has restaurants, hostels, some shops and second residences that are used in the high season. This village is sought by many visitors - not many foreigners during pandemic times.
