Image of Lumbrales, not of the place itself.

In 1647, during the Portuguese War of Restoration, the Portuguese governor of Beira crossed the border and burned the town. It was one of the many blows suffered by these frontier villages between 1640 and 1668, and one from which Lumbrales took decades to recover.
