Gastronomy
The rich lands of the green north boast a strong gastronomic heritage. Enjoy some fine dining in the Minho. Caldo Verde soup - the mix of shredded cabbage, potato, garlic, onion and olive oil - is the great contribution of the Minho to national cuisine. Either as a starter or as a light meal (especially in the early hours of the morning), try a bowl served with slices of good smoked 'chorizo' sausage or 'salpicão' jerky and corn bread. This is the land of Vinho Verde. Unique to Portugal, it is a fresh, slightly sparkling wine ideal as an aperitif. Minho's dining table. It's a good place to eat. That said however, in many ways 'cod' grabs the limelight with recipes such as 'Gil Eanes' now rightly famous. Trout 'to the minhota' with smoked ham is another must. As for meat, a much-loved dish is 'sarrabulho', which begins its cooking process boiled pig's blood before blending with rice and much more. There are also the crackling pork 'rojões' and leg of pork to Clara Penha. These standard bearers all eat to the fore at Christmas, the traditional time for slaughtering pigs. And make room for the local version of the 'stew' meat stew; 'Serra' or Hill goat; and the 'Young Goat caldeirada' potato stew, traditional to Gerês.
Weather
The climate is temperate and pleasant, with strong influence of the maritime air, always beneficial for the cultures, by the humidity that it brings, mainly in the summer months. The average annual thermal amplitude is around 15º and negative temperatures are rarely felt. The precipitation of the rains is more intense in the winter months, from October until March, due to the predominance of the maritime winds.
