IV Honey and Local Produce Fair

The Honey and Local Products Fair takes place in Angueira, in the civil parish union of Caçarelhos e Angueira, municipality of Vimioso, district of Bragança. It is a celebration of honey and local produce, with cultural and gastronomic activities, and has served to promote local trade, traditions and community spirit. The available sources do not allow us to reconstruct the exact origins of the fair or associate it with a religious devotion or a chapel, so only what is known with certainty about its purpose and location is recorded here.

In the far northeastern corner of Trás-os-Montes, in the municipality of Vimioso, Angueira is a plateau land of wide horizons and granite breaking through the soil, where time seems to move more slowly. It preserves traces of the ancient hill-fort culture and treasures such as the Fonte Santa, a spring long famed for its healing properties, passed down through generations. Alongside its neighbour Caçarelhos, it breathes the most authentic Mirandese and Transmontane culture, shaped by devotion, community life and a deep bond with the land. At the table, the Posta Mirandesa reigns alongside slow wood-smoked cured meats — flavours well worth the journey to this corner of Portugal's frontier.
