Aldeias Portuguesas is an editorial directory and open-data project documenting Portugal’s 3,259 parishes across mainland districts and the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira. It brings together administrative information, postal codes, local context, and verified public data from sources including INE, DGAL, DGPC, and ICNF. The site presents Portugal parish by parish, supporting research, genealogy, and interest in local history and communities.

Visitors can explore districts, municipalities, and parishes, or browse themed guides covering landscapes, historic villages, schist villages, coast and beaches, mountains, natural parks, gastronomy, classified heritage, and living traditions. Editorial features include local chronicles, festival calendars, seasonal guides, and dossiers on topics such as wine harvests. The project also offers open datasets in CSV and JSON, territorial observatories, and information on protected food products and administrative reorganization. Rather than focusing solely on tourism, Aldeias Portuguesas connects official records with stories of place, culture, and memory, creating a resource for understanding Portugal’s diverse local territories.
