Vila Nova da Barquinha

Because the area is bathed by 3 rivers, the Tejo, Zêzere and Nabão, the stews are delicious, as is the soup using fresh water fish, the barb with sauce, mullet on a roof tile, allis shad and bread stew, lamprey rice and the fishermen style eels.

 

Other Flavours: fried kid and velhoses (fried pieces of dough) which pair nicely with the local artisanal liqueurs.
