Sernancelhe officials present local chestnuts to Portuguese leaders

The Municipality of Sernancelhe traveled to Lisbon to present its traditional Castanha Martaínha to several high-ranking Portuguese state figures.

The initiative, a tradition spanning over two decades, aims to promote the local chestnut industry.

The visit to the Prime Minister also served to highlight the region's economic recovery following the 2025 fires and continued investment in agriculture.
