What sets this parish apart from the other 24 in the municipality.
São João de Lourosa has 4,690 residents in 26.00 km². It is the second of the peri-urban ring and the seventh in the municipality, south of the urban fabric.
Between 2011 and 2021 it went from 4,702 to 4,690 residents, down 0.3%. It lost little, unlike several rural parishes in the municipality.
The City Council describes it as a birthplace parish of Dão wines. Industry sits by the access roads; inland it is vineyard and farmland.
At Banho, on the right bank of the Dão, are the Termas de Alcafache, the only spa in the municipality of Viseu. The left bank is already Mangualde.
São João de Lourosa is made of several places, not a single centre.
The parish office on Rua do Fasmo, the parish church and the primary school and kindergarten on Rua Principal, in Lourosa de Baixo.

Pace, noise, traffic and services for anyone choosing a place to live.
In 26.00 km² live 4,690 people (180.4 inhab./km²). Between 2011 and 2021 the population stayed almost stable (−0.3%). The City Council describes it as a birthplace parish of Dão wines: industry near the main access roads, farmland inland. By day people commute to the city, and there are schools in São João de Lourosa, Oliveira de Barreiros and Teivas. At night the pace is that of the villages, not of an urban centre.
MUV Lines 11 (Coimbrões), 12 (Oliveira de Barreiros) and 21 (Longra, towards Silgueiros) serve places in this parish, Oliveira de Barreiros is not Barreiros e Cepões. Since 1 September 2026, municipality residents aged 24 or over can travel free on MUV with the Passe Residente Viseu. For other journeys, compare the available timetables with your daily routine.
The City Council concentrates industry near the main access roads. Inland is vineyards and farmland, with less traffic. There is none of the city's urban belt.
There is no permit zone or shopping-centre car park. You park on the street, near the parish council on Rua do Fasmo and near the villages' schools and chapels.
The City Council highlights the Cavalhadas de Teivas, during the Santos Populares. For the rest of the year no cluster of bars is documented. Ordinary nights are those of the villages.
