Administratively, the municipality is divided into 4 civil parishes (freguesias):[5]

  • Sameiro
  • Santa Maria (Town of Manteigas)
  • São Pedro (Town of Manteigas)
  • Vale de Amoreira
gollark: (apart from some 1st gen ones apparently produced on 12nm for some reason? There are apparently a bunch of weird ones in the wild)
gollark: No, 1st gen is 14nm and 2nd gen is 12nm.
gollark: The chipsets are still not 7nm, right? As well as the 1st/2nd gen ones they still seem to sell (they're available very cheaply, at least) and some mobile CPUs.
gollark: They used (still use, I think?) Global Foundries for 12nm/14nm parts.
gollark: Intel, I mean.
