There are stories that transform places. Stories made of courage and steps that are taken more with the heart than with the mind, even when everything is planned. Stories of returning to one’s roots and of a deep love for nature and for places that still breathe authenticity. And these places also transform stories, and people. The story of Samuel Ribeiro and Marta Simões is one such story — one that not only changes the course of a life, but also helps to redesign the future of Vale da Senhora da Póvoa in Penamacor and the Greater Côa Valley itself.
