Paredes

Located in the Sousa Valley, but just minutes from Greater Porto, Paredes is a delightful combination of urbanity and rurality. With a strong tradition in the furniture industry, accounting for more than 50% of national production, the municipality is also part of the Romanesque Route and the Vinho Verde Route, proof of its great diversity and which increasingly places it on the route of business, cultural and nature tourism. Traditional gastronomy is another good reason to visit Paredes. Roast goat cooked in a wood-fired oven, "sopa seca" and "regueifa" (a type of sweet bread) are the most traditional and, it must be said, irresistible flavors. As part of the tourist-cultural project called "Furniture Route", the "cavaco" was created, a kind of sweet bread with a filling made from traditional products, including chestnuts.
