Torre de Moncorvo Monthly Fair

The Torre de Moncorvo Monthly Fair is a commercial and cultural event with centuries of tradition, taking place on May 10, 2026. Known locally as "Feira de Ano," this fair happens regularly in the town center, attracting merchants and visitors from across the Upper Douro and Trás-os-Montes regions.

The open-air market fills the streets and squares of Torre de Moncorvo's historic center, offering an authentic experience of traditional Portuguese commerce. Visitors will find a wide variety of regional products, including Moncorvo's famous olive oil, almonds, honey, cured meats, regional cheeses, and other local products that form part of the rich Transmontana gastronomy.

Beyond food products, the fair features stalls selling local handicrafts, clothing, household goods, and plants. It's a unique opportunity to experience the culture and traditions of the region, interact with local residents, and discover authentic flavors from northeastern Portugal.

Torre de Moncorvo, a municipality seat in the Bragança district, is a historic town situated in the heart of the Upper Douro, surrounded by stunning landscapes of almond trees blooming in spring and centuries-old olive groves. The monthly fair serves as a community gathering point and a window into the authentic rural life of this region.

For tourists, a visit to the fair can be complemented with a stroll through the medieval historic center, a visit to the main church (Igreja Matriz) with its impressive altarpiece, or a trip to the Iron and Region Museum. The town also offers several restaurants where visitors can taste local gastronomy, such as the famous posta à transmontana (grilled steak) and almond sweets.
