THE STORY
At the table
Wild boar is part of the hunting and culinary traditions of the inland Beira Baixa region. In Penha Garcia, a historic village in the municipality of Idanha-a-Nova, wild boar dishes reflect the close relationship between local cuisine and the surrounding countryside, where game has long complemented rural diets.
