Lisbon discovers Axarquia

TOURISM experts from Axarquia are making their way to the Lisbon Tourism Fair, which is taking place until Sunday, March 5, in an attempt to showcase the best it has to offer to Portuguese travellers.

Axarquia is known for its Mediterranean gastronomy and the combination of coast and inland, which are the main attractions which the region’s Tourism Board is seeking to promote.

According to research by the body, Portuguese travellers are looking for nearby destinations with a difference, which is where Axarquia fits in.

The Tourism Board is also bringing local products to the fair, including extra virgin olive oil, grapes and sultanas and artisan honey from Frigiliana, to showcase the unique gastronomy that the region has to offer.
