Lamego

Integrated into the Douro Demarcated Region, Lamego lives primarily from agriculture, particularly from the region's fine wine, fruit, and grains, and from industry, with a particular emphasis on furniture manufacturing. Due to the popularity of agritourism and nature tourism, this sector is booming in the municipality, aided by the emergence of luxury hotels. Lamego's gastronomy has a centuries-old tradition, with recipes passed down from generation to generation: oven-roasted rabbit, goat with roasted potatoes, pickled trout, corn with garlic and wine meat, ham balls, sausages, and, for dessert, "peixinhos de chila", Lamegos pastries, egg sweets, and sponge cake.
