GASTRONOMY
Baked sardines on bread accompanied by a “salada montanheira” is one of those delicacies we immediately associate with summer holidays in the Algarve. But here, there is no lack of options to leave our mouths watering all year round. The corn porridge – or xarém – with cockles, the cataplana, the gazpacho, the regional sweets made with nuts and eggs, such as Dom Rodrigo, are just some examples of what you can taste in the region. The gastronomy of the Algarve is really rich and varied, a result of the fact that people from all kinds of backgrounds have lived here.
