The region
On the plate
The landscapes around here are composed of almond trees, arbutus, cork oaks, carob trees, fig trees, and orange groves, stretching across the shrubs and hills amidst the rocky terrain. And that's why, despite being so close to the sea, it is from the land that the flavors of the Serra emerge. The simplicity of chickpea or bean stews, cherry chicken, tender and succulent meats of pork, wild boar, lamb, partridge, or hare. The hams and sausages, or a xarem with pork cracklings, become true delicacies. But make room for dessert because we have Dom Rodrigo, Morgado da Serra, fig cheese, carob cake, and honey and chila cakes, among many others to enjoy in the company of a medronho brandy! Check out our suggestions to indulge yourself:
