Portugal Visitors Urged To Try Local Food
Portugal visitors urged to try local food by Cheap Flights Booker UK
Holidaymakers staying in hotels in Portugal this year should make the most of the culinary experiences on offer across the country, according to the national tourist board.
Filipe Silva, UK director of Turismo de Portugal, said a food-themed break can offer something different to the more traditional sea-and-sun getaways popular in areas such as the Algarve.
He recommended visiting the Alentejo region to discover local cuisine, which he described as a "unique experience" not many people are familiar with.
"Alentejo"s gastronomy is very strongly linked with the region"s history and traditions, and can be the basis for very interesting … holidays," added Mr Silva.
Visitors can learn about traditional produce associated with this part of Portugal, including local black pig and desserts based on old recipes.
Another destination that could be of interest to travellers this year is the northern city of Guimaraes, which will be hosting a number of special events in its role as a European Capital of Culture.
