Confraria dos Sabores Poveiros attended the Póvoa ao Ar Livre event for the first time on September 4th and 5th, at the tent installed during the summer near the Lota Auditorium. The invitation was extended by the mayor of the City Council, Andrea Silva, and was promptly accepted by the board and the confrères.
Rodrigo Moça, president of the Confraria, explained that the team presented sardine rice, a replica of the one that was prepared several years ago and became known as the world's largest sardine rice. During the event, fish soups were also served, with the feedback considered excellent.
The leader highlighted the commitment of the team involved in the initiative and considered that the participation constituted an important opportunity to promote Póvoa's gastronomic identity among residents and visitors. The confraria's mission is precisely to preserve and promote the traditional flavors of Póvoa de Varzim, showcasing emblematic dishes such as pescada à poveira, rabanada à poveira, cambitos de raia, tapas de sardinha com coração-de-boi, fish soup, and, more recently, sardine rice.
