Food
and Wine of ALJEZUR
With the sea so close at hand, there is no shortage of fresh fish, to be enjoyed grilled over an open fire or cooked in tasty stews called "caldeiradas". Seafood of various kinds is also to be had. One interesting local speciality are "perceves", a kind of barnacle which grows on the rocks along the shoreline. Sweet potato, grown in the fertile valleys where water is plentiful, is a recurring ingredient in the region's typical dishes and cakes which can be accompanied by the full-bodied wine grown on the terraced slopes or by aguardente de medronho, the arbutus-berry liqueur distilled in copper stills in the hills of the interior.
