Success story: The Alto Tâmega Taverns. Places that tell a village’s story

This presentation will showcase the project as an example of the revitalisation of traditional spaces, transforming them into authentic gastronomic and cultural meeting places. These venues showcase a region's cuisine, highlighting its produce, customs, and the people who preserve its identity. It is a case study on how gastronomy can revitalise rural areas and create experiences linked to the landscape and collective memory.
