The Regulatory Council of the PGI Ternasco de Aragón launches a summer promotion with free guided tours in Teruel, Rubielos de Mora and the EcoMuseum of Aínsa for those who taste the emblematic Ternasco de Aragón.
The Regulatory Council of the PGI Ternasco de Aragón has reactivated its popular summer promotions in the provinces of Teruel and Huesca. The campaign’s main objective is to promote the consumption of Ternasco de Aragón among tourists visiting the region during the month of August.
In collaboration with the Provincial Council of Teruel and the Foundation for the Conservation of the Bearded Vulture, two independent campaigns have been launched with the same purpose in both provinces.
During the month of August, those who order Ternasco de Aragón in any of the 26 participating establishments (13 in Huesca and 13 in Teruel) will automatically receive a voucher for a free guided visit. These visits can be made in the city of Teruel, in Rubielos de Mora (new this year) or in the EcoMuseum of Aínsa.
The participating restaurants are members of the Ternasco de Aragón Club, selected by the PGI for their dedication to offering and preparing this product in an excellent way.
