Indigenous Tuesday Market. 馃崊

This is the main event in Silvia. In the past, the Misak used to come down from the countryside to sell agricultural products, crafts, clothes, and food.

Silvia also celebrates important festivities. During Holy Week, people used to gather for religious traditions. Today, you must join events like TR Running or mountain biking competitions if you want adventure. You don’t have to be a professional athlete, but you have to bring energy and enthusiasm. 


Rainbow Trout production

Finally, the most traditional activity in Silvia is rainbow trout production. In the past, families used to fish for fun and then enjoy the meal together. Today, there are many places where you can go fishing, and right there they prepare the trout according to your taste.

If you try the trout, you will like it—it is delicious. If visitors eat freshly cooked trout, they feel connected to the local tradition. You must taste it at least once because it is part of Silvia’s identity. You have to choose how you want it prepared, but you don’t have to worry about cooking—it’s done for you. Furthermore, you must not miss this experience if you want to understand the culture of the region.

Most travelers would like to enjoy trout with family or friends, making it one of the highlights of Silvia’s gastronomy.
