Along the Camino Portugués, here are local specialties you should add to your list of things to taste: You can’t get more traditional in terms of Portuguese cuisine than salted cod or ‘bacalhau’ or grilled sardines. Try Portugal’s classic ‘sopa de caldo verde’. Originally from the North of the country and similarly to its Galician ‘cousin’, ‘caldo verde’ basic ingredients are collard greens, potatoes, and onion, with many also adding sausage or other pork meat. For the sweet tooth do not miss Pastel de Nata : The most famous one with custard tart. A crunchy pastry with exquisitely sweet custard.
