“This old swing sure has seen a lot,” a local man chuckled, nodding towards the Balooi̧o dos Moinhos de Jancido. “Generations of kids, giggling as they fly through the air. It’s a right of passage in these parts.” The Balooi̧o dos Moinhos de Jancido isn’t just any swing. It’s perched near the iconic Jancido Mills, a collection of eight beautifully restored watermills. These mills, with their round, schist construction and slate roofs, tell a story of a bygone era. Imagine a time when the rhythmic whirring of millstones filled the air, grinding corn and grain into flour. This wasn’t so long ago. The mills fell silent only in the 1970s as electric systems took over. But thanks to a group of dedicated locals, the “Friends of Jancido Mills,” these historical treasures were brought back to life in 2017. The Balooi̧o dos Moinhos de Jancido is more than just a playground swing. It’s a symbol of the community’s dedication to preserving their heritage. It’s a reminder of simpler times, of a connection to the land and the rhythm of nature. So go on, take a seat, and let the Balooi̧o dos Moinhos de Jancido swing you back to a time when life moved at a slower, more deliberate pace. Feel the wind in your hair and the laughter bubble up – just like generations before you.
