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.
