Kisah dan tradisi
Dalam dongeng Portugis, olharapo termasuk ras raksasa bermata satu besar di dahi, seperti kiklop. Menurut Alexandre Parafita, ia terutama muncul dalam dongeng dan legenda Trás-os-Montes sebagai raksasa pemakan manusia yang kejam dan buas. Tradisi rakyat juga mengenal olharapa dan olhapim, dan di Vinhais ada peribahasa: "Di negeri para olhapim, yang bermata dua menjadi raja." Kumpulan Antígua, Tradições e Contos Populares karya Francisco Martins Sarmento memuat cerita dari Souto yang menyebut olharapo sebagai bangsa yang masih ada. Seorang pria yang tersesat ke rumah mereka diberi tahu oleh seorang anak bahwa orang tuanya akan pulang dan memakannya; ia kabur dan bersembunyi di pohon pinus, sementara olharapo dan istrinya mencarinya dengan obor tanpa hasil. Pencerita cerita itu, Jerónimo, tidak tahu bahwa olharapo bermata satu.
In Portuguese fairy tales the olharapo belongs to a race of giants with one great eye on the forehead, like a cyclops. According to Alexandre Parafita, it appears especially in the tales and legends of Trás-os-Montes as a violent, fierce man-eating giant. Folk tradition also knows the olharapa and the olhapim, and Vinhais has a proverb: "In the land of the olhapins, he who has two eyes is king." Francisco Martins Sarmento's collection Antígua, Tradições e Contos Populares contains a tale from Souto that calls the olharapos a people that still exists. A man who stumbles into their house learns from a child that the parents will come home and eat him; he escapes and hides up a pine tree while the olharapo and his wife search for him with torches in vain. The narrator, Jerónimo, did not know that olharapos have a single eye.
