Tasting Botelo in Vigo
The second Festa do Botelo in the city of Vigo is being celebrated today with a great influx of people. About 150 diners taste the unique bottle accompanied by cachelos and vegetables in the lounge of the Hotel Coia in Vigo. The event was attended by the mayor of O Barco, Alfredo García and the councilor for Culture and Education, Margarida Pizcueta, accompanied by Carmela Silva, president of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra and the mayor of Vigo, Abel Caballero.
The meal started after 14:30 with soup and maravalla pie, then the bottle was served. The tasting of this delicacy is accompanied by red wine from the Jésús Nazareno de O Barco Cooperative.
This will be the last promotional event for the bottle this season. The Barco Council organized a series of activities this year and gave continuity to others in order to continue to make known the sausage king of Valdeorrés winter, the botelo.
