On the north of Portugal not far away from Montalegre town, you can find the most out-of-the-way village in the country - Oteiro. Handful of people live in stone houses high in the mountains.

A simple way of living depends on few pieces of livestock and answers a question - why there is so high percentage of illiterate people in Portugal.
