Presentation of Vilar Seco

Vilar Seco Commune is one of the ten communes of Vimioso Municipality; it had 567 inhabitants in 2011 and covers 96.5 km². This commune was one of three detached from neighbouring municipality of Miranda do Douro in the 19th century, and local bilingualism gives the village its two names: Vilar Seco in Portuguese and Bilasseco in Mirandese (the local syncretic Asturian-Leonese dialect complex, co-official language of Portugal and given a standard orthography); each is the translation of the other and both mean "dry hamlet". In spite of this bilingualism (enshrined in the Constitution of 1999), the scroll of the arms is not bilingual, according to the law (signed in 2002); if bilingual, the Mirandese text would read "Bilasseco - Bumioso".
