Póvoa ... A sea for Enjoyment!

The people and their history...

Once upon a time there was simply the sea and its edge a welcoming bay well suited for fishing. It was here that a seashore community first established itself and in 1308 received its letters patent from King Denis. But this moment of prominence was not to last. Soon afterward the settlement was placed under the administration of the Monastery of Santa Clara of Vila do Conde. The town, it seems, was treated as something of a despised stepdaughter by the church, until it finally achieved its independence once again in 1514 by the order of King Manuel, the first. And from that moment onward began an order of constant improvement that has left a fine architectural heritage in terms of buildings, the materials used to build them, and the various types of construction in the town. Noble granite lends presence, structure and robustness to churches, places and aqueducts. Yet the detailed use of varying materials: stucco, wrought iron, painted ceramic tiles, or gold leaf. All these can be found in profusion.

Crafts and Cuisine

In terms of local handcrafts, Póvoa is best known for the so-called: camisola poveira ( Póvoa`s pullover), whose distinctive embroidery makes this garment the city's calling card. Another distinctive item - made nowhere else in Portugal - is the Beiriz carpet. Póvoa is famous for its finely woven linen, its patchwork quilts and its carpets. There are a number of first-class restaurants in Póvoa de Varzim, where several different styles of Portuguese cuisine can be found. From the northern province of Minho come the meat dishes. And from Póvoa itself come the seafood specialities. With the sea on its doorstep, it's inevitable that any local dishes will give pride of place to fish. So dishes such as pescada à poveira (boiled fish), caldeirada de peixe (fish stew) and arroz de sardinhas (sardines with rice) all employ the freshest catch the fishing boats can offer. Washed down with the local, slightly sparkling vinho verde, this is seafood at its best. For dessert, adventures diners should certainly try the rabanadas - a speciality made of bread sprinkled with milk, sugar and eggs, and then fried in olive oil. It goes without saying that the whole meal should be rounded off with the fine glass of Port Wine. Any meal is only as good as its ingredients, and here Póvoa takes special pride: fresh vegetables are grown locally in the campos de masseira or market gardens specially designed to give protection from the coastal winds.

Póvoa ... Une Mer de Plaisirs

Un peuple ... Une histoire ...
Au d´but c`était la mer et l`anse qui a attiré les premiers pêcheurs. C`est ici que s`est installée la première communauté qui a reçu sa première chart du roi D . Dinis , en 1308. Mais de fut une court gloire. Placé sous la dépendance du monastère de Santa Clara , à Vila do Conde, dont elle s`est toujour considérée la belle-fille mal-aimée, ce ne fut que par la chart accordé en 1514 par le roi D. Manuel qu´elle a retrouvé sa liberté .Elle est donc devenue fière de soi-même, elle s´est dévelopée. De cet embellisement croissant il nous reste aujooud´hui un patrimoine architectonique varié. La noblesse, des églises, des manoirs, des aqueducs ; mais c´est maisons du mosaique , du stuc, du bois sculpé doré , du fer forgé qui lui accordent le raffinement de l´oeuvre d´art.

Artisanat et Gastronomie

Dans l´ artisanat, le pull-over de Póvoa , camisola poveira , est l´un des ex-libris de la ville. Um autre ambassadeur important c´est le tapis de Beiriz , unique dans l´artisanat national. La fabrication de tapis et de couvertures drapées et le tissage du linge sont aussi remarquebles.
La ville de Póvoa de Varzim est desservice par de bons restaurants qui sont des carrefours de traditions : d´une part, la cusine du Minho dont la viande est l´élément base ; d´autre part, la cusine tradicionelle de Póvao qui naturellement , fait l´honneur au poisson : pescada á poveira ( mellen bouilli à la Póvoa ) , caldeirada de peixe ( ragoûte de poisson variés ) , arroz de sardinha ( riz de sardine ) , etc., ce sont des plats qui, accompagnés d´ailleurs du bon vin verde de la region font vraiment la délice des dieux. Pour le dessert il faut goûter les rabanadas à poveiro ( tranches de pain au lait et jaune d´ oeuf dorées et sucrées ) accompagnées d´un verre de Porto.
Pour la confection de ces menus, la qualité des produits agricoles de la region est très importante , surtout en ce qui concerne l´horticulture qui a une technique toute particulière de culture dans des champs de masseira ( terre labourée à l´abri des vents ) .
