3. Sericá, Sericaia, or Cericá
Serica is another delicious Portuguese sweet made of eggs, sugar, milk, and cinnamon. It originated in Alentejo and has a soufflé-like texture with a hint of citrus flavor. You may find it in the dessert menu of many traditional restaurants or at a pastry shop.
4. Grilled sardines
Portuguese loves their grilled sardines! On my Portugal road trip, I saw locals grilling sardines like American BBQ on the 4th of July. Oh, and during the festival of St. Anthony, you are guaranteed to smell like grilled sardines for a few days. To the local that warned me, you were right. So don’t skip this Portugal’s traditional dish while visiting.
