Ribeira de Pena
Enjoying great richness and variety of landscapes, between green valleys carved by the Tâmega River and its tributaries, where agriculture, culture and settlements are typically expressed in the Minho region, and rocky massifs characteristically from Trás-os-Montes, the municipality of Ribeira de Pena receives influences from both regions in its traditions. In terms of gastronomy, it is essential to mention delicacies such as alheiras and mouras de Cerva, a fried river fish dish, kid and veal roasted in a wood-fired oven accompanied by corn, which delight the palate, while game lovers can savor wild boar, hare or partridge. For dessert, "formigos" (a type of "brigadeiro"), flour cakes, sweet "morcelas" and sweet "sarrabulho" call for the good Vinho Verde of the region to accompany them.
