FESTA DO PEMENTO 2021
With this initiative, the Concello de Arnoia confirms that the Festa do Pemento will indeed be held this year, in the same way as it was carried out in last year’s 2020 edition, in the midst of the pandemic, with all safety measures and adapting to the restrictions in force at that time.
Once again there will be a heavy focus on a digital component, creating a new edition of the Roteiro Gastronómico do Pemento so that people can taste the star product while keeping strict capacity control and anti-Covid health measures. In addition, the social media channels @pementosdearnoia will be boosted to promote both the festival and the product itself.
