Its gastronomy varies depending on seasons. Sweets are also famous and some examples are the following: Arroz Doce, Dom Sancho (cake made with rye puff pastry and egg cream filling with “queijo da serra” flavour), custard tart, pumpkin jam with cream cheese and also the traditional Bola Parda from Guarda. Being delicious themselves, they can and should be accompanied by a good wine from the Beira Interior Region. Guarda was distinguished with “Gastronomic Destination of the Year 2022” award and the prize was awarded by the specialized publication of the wine sector, Revista de Vinhos - Essência do Vinho, which promotes this initiative since 1996. It distinguishes “The Best of the Year” and they are usually called the “Wine and Food Oscars”.
