Esquio -» Sitting at an altitude of 750 meters (2460 feet), with around 2 hectares (4.7 acres) of existing built space, it has 65 houses, a public fountain, and a chapel to the devotion of Santa Quitéria. The inhabitants didn’t have access to tap water or a sewer system. Electricity was only available in 1983.
Esquio had its last inhabitant in the mid-1990s. In 1991, it had 13 people living there, with the chapel still active.
Pessegueiro -» Sitting at an altitude of 550 meters (1804 feet), the lower village has 64 houses, a small Ermida, a fountain, and a communal washing tank. Electricity and water arrived at the same time as Esquio.
Pessegueiro had its last inhabitant in 1999. In 1991, it had 16 people living there.

Great to see you Danny. I was worried about whether you were doing ok or not. Very nice to meet your sister. I loved these mysterious ruins very much, especially Esquio. It must have been a hard life with no running water or electricity. The inhabitants must have been very industrious to manage to eke out a life there. Take care!!
I’m sooooo happy to see you sugar bear!!! 😊😊😊 0:38
Nice to see you again, Danny! Nice to see you too, sister.

Thanks for sharing this adventure! I love your sister. 28:39
DANNY!!!! It is so good to see you again. I have always enjoyed your abandoned Portuguese village videos and now we get TWO abandoned villages. I especially enjoy coming back to the hot sunny explorations when it's cold and snowy here in the winter. It warms my soul! Thank you Danny for posting and thank you Bea, (I hope I got your sister's name correct). This was an absolute treat!

Danny! It's so good to know that you're doing well after such a long absence. You've been missed! Many thanks to you and your sister for braving the heat to show us these abandoned villages.
Welcome back, dear Danny, and thank you so much for this exciting video! Please keep it up!
It would have been a lovely place to live in it's day, big thanks to you and your sister for taking us here. 🎉❤
Hi Danny, I can't understand why Pastor Willy hasn't commented on this very nice video yet. He usually writes straight away when he likes a video. Do you know how he is? I'm seriously worried about him.
Neat villages. Not going to lie, the chapel is a bit spooky lol. Great to see you again! Awesome video!

Missed you on your channel! Thanks to your sister for being videographer! I always appreciated your banter and keeping it real and unscripted! Looking forward to more adventures with you!
Thank you both for this video ❤❤❤❤
Hey hey, dear Danny it is so lovely to see you again with one of your awesome explore videos. Somehow these two ghost towns are filled with a kinda sad atmosphere, because of the mystery, why everyone left. Nevertheless the views you were showing, are breathtakingly beautiful. It was of course also lovely to see you collaborating together with your sister. Hiking in that place was certainly a great challenge because of the summer heat. – I very much enjoyed watching, and at the end of your video your iconic bloopers made me laugh! So funny, bro!
Wishing you only all the best, blessings, peace and happy greetings from Switzerland.
Danny i so enjoy your videos. Please consider doing some abandon houses!
🥰Great journey and explore! Danny, your sister did a wonderful job filming! I hope the well water was good!
Hallo danny,
wollte dir, deiner Schwester und all deinen Lieben ein gesegnetes Weihnachtsfest wünschen
Und einen guten Rutsch ins 2026
We miss you, 🌈🦋🎅🥂✨️
So good to find your videos again!! Hi to your sister and glad she is helping out. Great video and beautiful scenery
