Ribeira de Pena
Boasting a rich and varied landscape, between green valleys shaped by the Tâmega River and its tributaries, where agriculture, culture, and settlements are typically Minho, and rocky massifs characteristic of Trás-os-Montes, the municipality of Ribeira de Pena draws influences from both regions into its traditions. In terms of gastronomy, it's essential to mention delicacies such as Cerva's "alheiras" and "mouras", a fried river fish dish, and wood-fired goat and veal served with corn are a delight for the palate, while game lovers can savor wild boar, hare, or partridge. For dessert, "formigos", flour dumplings, sweet black pudding, and sweet "sarrabulho" call for a fine regional "vinho verde".
