History
Paradinha, an ancient settlement emerged from the remnants of the castro of Moreiró.{{cite web|url=http://cmmoimenta.dev.wiremaze.com/PageGen.aspx?WMCM_PaginaId=30938|title=Freguesias: Paradinha|accessdate=15 June 2011|year=2011|editor=Câmara Municipal|publisher=Câmara Municipal de Moimenta da Beira|location=Moimenta da Beira, Portugal|language=Portuguese|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110813184837/http://cmmoimenta.dev.wiremaze.com/PageGen.aspx?WMCM_PaginaId=30938|archivedate=13 August 2011}}
Many notable noblemen passed through this area, including the Infante John (son of Peter I of Portugal and Inês de Castro). Still, it was the Morais Sarmento family that influenced the growth of the settlement. Settling in this corner the noble family established several rich estates and concentrated their activities in the region. This auspicious plutocracy helped to establish the first roadways in the area, inaugurated in 1882. In 1859, the central government decided to extinguish the parish of Paradinha and incorporate the lands into Moimenta da Beira. The Morais Sarmento clan protested this decision and forced the government to rethink the decision, allowing the civil parish to exist during the municipal reforms.
