There are new sweets to try at the Casa das Lérias cafeteria

Port wine, citrus fruits, apple and cinnamon, cocoa and spices are the ingredients that characterize the new signature sweets available in the cafeteria of Casa das Lérias, the historic hotel unit located in the heart of the city of Amarante.
