In the heart of northern Portugal, nestled amidst the rolling hills, lies the charming village of Sousela. Sousela is a place where time seems to move a little slower, a place where traditions are cherished and stories are passed down through generations. The village of Sousela, with a population just shy of 2,000 people, boasts a history as rich and vibrant as the landscape that surrounds it. Sousela was once part of the municipality of Aguiar de Sousa. A significant shift in its administration occurred in 1927, with the enactment of Decree No. 13.917 on July 9th. This decree formally incorporated Sousela into the comarca, or judicial district, of Penafiel. However, the administrative map was redrawn once more, and by 1852, Sousela found its place within the municipality of Lousada, where it remains to this day. The village belonged to the Diocese of Braga before becoming part of the Diocese of Porto in 1882, a testament to the shifting borders and influences that have shaped the region over time. Today, as you wander through the quaint streets of Sousela, take a moment to appreciate the echoes of history that resonate all around you. Imagine the footsteps of those who came before, contributing to the unique tapestry of this charming Portuguese village.
