Tavira Good Food and Fine Wine
Fresh fish, grilled on an open fire, is an obvious choice in Tavira and the fishing villages of the coast. So are lobster, shrimp, clams and other types of shellfish harvested from the sea or the Ria Formosa Anyone who enjoys sampling regional cooking should try the tasty local cockle soup; sea food "açorda", a kind of thick bread soup made with razor shells, cockles, prawns and clams; tuna in a tomato and onion sauce; bean stew with razor shells; and the distinctive clams with maize flour, known as "xerém".
Santa Luzia is renowned for its octopus risotto.
Equally highly reputed is the mountain recipe for baked lamb, seasoned with fragrant bay leaves. The range of sweets on offer is vast, from the Tavira "colchão", which is flavoured with almonds, to "Dons Rodrigos" "carriços" and meringues, all baked to traditional recipes. The red wines of Tavira taste of the hot sun that ripens the grapes and makes them rich in sugar.
