LEITAO  – A Traditional Portuguese Culinary Specialty

Today my clients who are visiting from Brazil needed a transfer from Lisbon to Porto.  Which was perfect to plan a nice lunch of Leitao, which is a whole hog cooked on a spit seasoned to perfection.  Half way to Porto in the center of Portugal north of Coimbra ( Coimbra is known for having the oldest university and it is also classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site) there is a region famous for serving suckling pig.  All restaurants in this area serve this specialty.  This is considered one of the 7 wonders of food in Portugal.  As you can see we enjoyed our meal today!

Pork served along with fried thin sliced potatoes and a nice lightly dressed garden salad.  If you find yourself in this area of the Iberian Peninsula then you must try it!  Please contact me to arrange for a tour or transfer anywhere in Portugal.  It would be my pleasure to help you plan your next trip.
