WINE While Port may still be king, Northern Portugal has started making world-class red wines in the regions of Douro, Dao and Bairrada.

Some of the wines are light and elegant like Burgundy's Pinot Noir. On the other hand, there are also some bold, powerful wines similar to the muscular Barolos or Bordeauxs.

Northern Portugal consists of 3 main wine regions: Douro, Dao and Bairrada. While they had underperformed for decades, they are now producing some of the most exciting wines in the world.

Cod is known as the iconic dish of Portugal, and it is served more ways than there are days in the year. I ordered it simply pan-fried in olive oil without sauce, and the sweet, flaky flesh melted in my mouth. Other foods considered uniquely Portuguese include tripe, a dessert made from egg yolk called Doces de Ovos (introduced to Portugal by the Moors), and roast suckling piglet
