Barroso (region)
Barroso or Terras de Barroso (''Lands of Barroso'') is the traditional name of the region formed by the Portuguese municipalities of Montalegre and Boticas.

The region was one of the first in Europe, in 2018, to be recognised by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation as a 'Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System.'
