Food and Drink

Seafood is in abundance. Dishes are similar to those of the mainland but are given a local twist.

Regional specialities:
• Fresh grilled fish and squid, octopus.
• Grilled racas (a kind of barnacle), lobster, and cavaco (a type of crab) are also popular.
• Beef stews, local cheeses and abundant fruits (including greenhouse-grown pineapples).

Regional drinks:
• Locally produced wines are recommended.
• Brandies are distilled on the islands.

Shopping

Locally made linens and woollen goods, lace and pottery make good buys.
