History

The parish, one of the older parishes in the municipality, was already identified in the records of that period, dating to 1332.

Geography

Pego is situated in the centre of the municipality of Abrantes; one of the three parishes that do not front other municipalities within Abrantes. Its neighbours include the parishes of Mouriscas (in the northeast); Concavada (in the east); São Facundo and São Miguel do Rio Torto (to the south), Rossio (to the west) and Alferrarede (in the northwest).

Leaving the main city of Abrantes, towards Portalgre on the EN118, following the left margin of the Tagus, intersects the civil parish of Pego. The road leads along the Ribeira de Coalhos to a small plateau with several small low-rise homes: the first indications of a small settled community.

gollark: Side channels are where instead of looking at the obvious inputs/outputs of a system you look at other information which might be affected by what it's doing, like a chip's power draw, electromagnetic radiation from it, or timing.
gollark: There's some weirdness where it's not *strictly* rolled back entirely so some information can be extracted through bizarre side channels.
gollark: Spectre/Meltdown work using weirdness in speculative execution, which is where the CPU executes stuff faster by assuming one possibility is true then rolling it back if it's wrong.
gollark: CPUs have a bunch of privilege separation mechanisms, but flaws in them sometimes get around those.
gollark: The general thing with these flaws is just that the CPU behaves in some way it shouldn't/isn't documented as doing, so information is leaked from places or stuff which shouldn't be changed is changed.
