Notícias de Coimbra3 September 2026 at 07:54

Espinhal, in the municipality of Penela, hosts a new edition of the Honey Fair, which runs for three days. The event celebrates the region's beekeeping tradition with a program that includes party, music and cultural manifestations.

This year's edition maintains the objective of promoting honey and local products, highlighting the importance of this activity for the community. The event attracts visitors from the region and constitutes a meeting point for producers and consumers.

The Penela Municipal Council supports this initiative, framing it within the effort to enhance the traditional products of the territory. The fair also represents an opportunity to boost the local economy and preserve the ancestral practices associated with honey production.

Espinhal is thus preparing to welcome locals and visitors with a diversified offer, where confectionery and tradition meet during these days of celebration.
