The fifth Festa do Botelo in the city of Vigo will be held on Saturday, March 9, at Hotel Coia. Close to 200 diners will taste the unique bottle accompanied by cachelos and vegetables thus closing the promotion season for this Valdeorré sausage outside of its land of origin.

The meal will start at 14:00 with soup and maravalas empanada, then the bottle will be served. The botelo tasting, that is to say, the stomach of the pig stuffed with marinated ribs and smoked and then cooked for consumption, will be accompanied by wines from the region. The price of the meal is 28 euros per person. The event will close with a musical performance.

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. This Festival of Tourist Interest in Galicia since 2014 celebrated its nineteenth edition last January 19 in the town of Barco. It continued its promotion outside the Valdeorres lands in A Coruña last February 9 and will end the activity in Vigo.
