São Brás, Ribeira Grande — 582 people, a chapel promised over a yoke of oxen and a church that took almost a century

One of the municipality's least populated parishes takes its name from a 16th-century chapel. It was a curacy of Porto Formoso until 1980, keeps the memory of the struggles between liberals and absolutists, and has a church begun in 1866 and only finished in 1961.
