[3] Ferreiros received its foral (charter) in 1514.

[4] The patron saint of the parish is Santa Maria, or Nossa Senhora da Expectação (Our Lady of the Expectation), with a parochial cross located in the middle of the historical square that was the place for the weekly squares.

[4] Ferreiros is situated in the heart of Minho, along the valleys and hills created by confluent of the Homem and Cávado rivers, along the flanks of the Serra do Gerês mountains.
