Reis Magos (Verem)

the village of Reis Magos, also known as Verem is on the southern side of
Pilerne. It is just opposite Miramar on the other side of the Mandovi. In
the estuary of this river, during low tide, the villagers go to catch
cockles, mussels and oysters. It has a cool refreshing coastal belt between
the hillock of Nerul and the Mandovi where the villagers of the neighboring
villages bathe. The Franciscans who had their rectory there in the
17thcentury baptized the primitive inhabitants. The navy acquired the
full
hillock on the eastern side of Reis magos and have taken possession of the
quay at Verem.
