Barco de Valdeorras is promoting the bottle for one more year with a party in A Coruña
The fourth Festa do Botelo in the city of A Coruña will be held on Saturday, February 11. The venue for this new edition will be the Mirador de San Pedro restaurant, as in the three previous celebrations. Barco de Valdeorras Council is organizing this new Botelo festival in the capital of Herculaneum to continue the dissemination of the Valdeorras king of winter product. The botelo, that is to say, the pig’s stomach filled with marinated ribs, smoked and consumed cooked, is achieving great recognition and diffusion outside the Valdeorres lands.
The party will begin at 1:00 pm with the reception of the diners and then the meal in which the starters will be the traditional sopa do cocido and the typical maravallas empanada. The main course will have botelo as the protagonist and accompanied by cachelos, chorizos and vegetables. For dessert there will be bica and torta de roxóns in addition to the musical group Os Peteras to liven up the afternoon. To accompany the meal there will be white Godello wines from the Godeval, D´berna wineries and the red wine from the Jésús Nazareno Cooperative. The meal costs €30 per person and reservations can now be made by paying to an account number that the restaurant has open. Those who go in a group have to specify the name of the group to which they belong in order to organize the tables.
This Festival of Tourist Interest in Galicia since 2014 celebrated its seventeenth edition last January 21 in the town of Barco. Now its promotion continues outside the Valdeorres lands and in addition to the food in A Coruña, another one is already being prepared in Vigo in its second edition for the 11th of March.
