Nisa
The picturesque town of Nisa is part of the Portalegre district and its landscape is inseparable from the Tagus and Sever rivers and from the São Miguel Mountain. The municipality's main economic activities are commerce and industry, essentially agriculture. Given the existence of different types of clay, the artisanal industry takes on expression through pottery, with unique pieces of red clay. The lace, frills and felt applications are also characteristic of the region. Nisa is famous for its cheese and sausages. Nisa Cheese and Tolosa Mestizo Cheese are the maximum exponents of these protected products. The cuisine is plentiful: "cachola" or "sarapatel" soup, the "parties colored beans", dogfish "alhada", lamb feet, "febrinhas da Matança", "maranhos" or corn porridge.
