The locality has a Day Center, the Lentiscais Improvement Association, and a route of walking paths where tours are organized regularly.
Historically it began as a Monte, like other neighboring villages. The first houses were built at the beginning of Rua Velha. It is believed that pastors from Serra da Estrela who left the Serra in winter due to the snow (transhumance) contributed to its settlement. Hypotheses for this include the patron saint of Lentiscais (Our Lady of the Star) and several families with the Serrano surname.
