Valpaços

Inserted on the border between Terra Fria (Hot Land) and Terra Quente (Cold Land) from Trás-os-Montes, the toponym of Valpaços appears mentioned in documents from the 12th century, although these lands were already traversed by ancestral peoples. The municipality modernized, but the people continued to take advantage of the traditions created over time and the fertility of the land, insisting on the production of chestnuts, olives, cherries and grapes. Take the opportunity to taste the region's traditional dishes which, based on the best of its products, showcase delicacies such as the famous "folar", sausages and hams, game stew and chestnut-based recipes, such as soup, cake or mousse. Crafts also seek to perpetuate the traditions of weaving, lace work and tinwork.
