You'll find out why Vila Real de Santo António is known as The Land of Tuna on this educational journey from sea to plate. Between your visits to the Canning Industry Museum Centre and the gastronomic and cultural association, known as the Tuna Brotherhood, you'll get the lowdown on the history and heritage of fishing, canning, salting, drying and, of course, eating of this mighty fish. The tour peaks at lunchtime with a tuna tasting at a local speciality restaurant. You'll tuck into a fresh tuna salad with tomato and pepper, followed by tuna à moda da fábrica – tuna steak with onions. And the next time you order tuna, it will be with a newfound respect.
