From the nation&#8217;s coastal capital, Lisbon, to the cliffs and coves of The Algarve, and in-land to the home of port wine and olive oil, a journey through Portugal reveals the country&#8217;s wealth of local ingredients and outstanding artisanal goods.<\/p>\n<p>With over 800 kilometres of Atlantic coastline and strong Mediterranean influences, Portugal is known for its extraordinary bounty of fresh seafood and fish. Indeed, Portugal has long been a seafaring nation with a thriving fishing industry that dates back to the 15<sup>th<\/sup> century. Cod and sardines are in abundance, with octopus, crab, spiny lobster, oysters and clams also caught off these shores. Fish is eaten fresh, often grilled or in rich seafood stews, or dried and salted to make<em> bacalhau<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6857\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/09\/SeafoodCataplana_iStock_jackmalipan_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Portuguese Cuisine\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SeafoodCataplana_iStock_jackmalipan_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SeafoodCataplana_iStock_jackmalipan_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SeafoodCataplana_iStock_jackmalipan_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SeafoodCataplana_iStock_jackmalipan_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SeafoodCataplana_iStock_jackmalipan_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SeafoodCataplana_iStock_jackmalipan_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In-land, meat and poultry are naturally more dominant, with pork and beef dishes featuring on most menus. Each area of the countryside has its own specialties, from <em>cozido \u00e1 Portuguesa<\/em> (in which fresh and cured meat, potatoes, root vegetables and rice are brought together in one pot), to roasted suckling pig, slow-cooked goat, and beef marinated in red wine. Locally made olive oil is at the heart of many of these dishes, with garlic and herbs for added flavour, and fresh seasonal vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>These meat, seafood and vegetable dishes are then supplemented by the produce of the country&#8217;s many skilled artisanal makers, with freshly baked bread eaten with olives grown on the land, and the country&#8217;s locally made cheeses.
