This parish, as such, is not included in the inquiries of 1258, although listed in it all the villages that integrated the parish. In truth, it refers to Pedrário, Serraquinhos, Cepeda, Zebral (where existed a homestead of the troubadour´s brother João Baveca) and Antigo. The latter village, with the toponym of Antigo de Espinho is the same as saying Antigo de Aspinius (Aspini). Later it was Antigo de Arcos, belonging to the rim of Cervos and now Antigo de Serraquinhos. Life takes many turns!
The visitors of Sarraquinhos should take the sightseeing tour of the great “transmontano” and national poet Miguel Torga: visit the church, the chapel, the Castro de Pedrário and community oven, and listen to old ladies say aspirations for the soul of the always remembered Father Joaquim, that God has.
