Classified as a Protected Area in 1982. Most of the area belongs to many private owners. One part is fallow land. Its 382 hectares cover two points of particular interest: the Margaraça Forest and the Fraga [cliff] da Pena. The ICNF- Institute for Nature and Forest Conservation owns the most significant part of the Margaraça Forest.
