Jorge Botelho, mayor of Tavira, in a recent meeting with journalists, highlighted that the municipality has been focusing on the quality of food provided in school canteens, in such a way that one of the first decisions of its executive was «to put an end to the food. regenerated in schools. Currently, all the kids eat fresh food, prepared daily in the canteens».
At this time, added the mayor, a total of «1650 students eat in school cafeterias» in the municipality of Tavira, when last school year that number was around 1300.
