2nd day of the Sustainable Entrepreneurship Workshop

The second day of the First Workshop on Corvo Sustainable Entrepreneurship was opened by Luis Silva with the following theme "Pathways and trails of Corvo", followed by Dr. Paulo Felix with "How did the Graciosa cheesecake emerge?" and finally Dr. Manuel Paulino da Costa from SRAM emphasized the importance of the "Biosphere Reserve" brand.


For lunch we tasted typical dishes from the island. "The liver sauce" made ​​by "O Caldeirão" restaurant was also enjoyed by a couple of German tourists. In the afternoon a practical exercise took place to discuss the islands potential and how to develop it sustainably.


With the bad weather the Flores / Corvo boat trips were cancelled, which made it impossible for the Flores speakers to attend. They were still able to take part using the telephone. Then Mrs. Ilda Henriques explained to us how her traditional cheese factory in Fajãzinha worked. Finally, Jose Benedicto replaced Pierluigi Bragaglia for the quality tourism lecture. At dinner, we enjoyed one more dish, "Couves da Barça" from "O Traineira" restaurant. The day ended with coffee and lively conversation at "Os Metralhas" cafe.
