La Festa do Botelo will have a new edition, number nineteen in 2019. In this month in which traditional pig slaughters are beginning to proliferate throughout the Valdeorras region, O Barco City Council is finalizing the preparations for the gastronomic festival of this villa. Next January 19th we will have the opportunity to taste the bottles, which at this point are already made and in the smoke curing phase. A process that lasts, between the preparation and the duration of about a month. Afterwards the botelo, the pig’s stomach stuffed with marinated ribs, will be cooked with potatoes and vegetables to be tasted at the party that brings together more than 1,200 people every year between the Calabagueiros Pavilion and the restaurants of the barque town.

In the near future we will unveil the official program of events and the herald of this edition.
