As you know, one of the attractions of the Camino is enjoying the gastronomy offered by the different regions that we are traveling through.

The Camino Portugues is a unique culinary experience, and as a pilgrim, you need to eat well to replenish your strength after days of many kilometers

The Portuguese Way begins its journey in Porto, and in case you did not know, the name given to its inhabitants is that of Tripeiros, so one of the first dishes you should try is Tripas a la Porto, it is a stew that, to older than the casings, today it uses the best parts of the pig.

Another of Porto’s best-known and most emblematic dishes is the Francesinha, an imposing three-tier sandwich with toasted slices of bread stuffed with meat and cold cuts, au gratin with baked cheese and bathed in a tomato and beer sauce with a spicy touch that leaves no one indifferent.
