 Gastronomy

A Portuguese meal often consists of soup or salad as a starter and a meat or fish dish for the main. In the north, the typical soup is caldo verde made with potatoes and cabbage sometimes served with chorizo. Fish is the basic staple eaten on the coast. Cod or bacalhau, which can be prepared in many different ways is the most popular dish but you will also find sole, ray, calamari, tuna and sardines. The many desserts, often made with fruits and nuts (figs, almonds and so on) are often flavoured with spices such as cinnamon.
