Globo Repórter: Gastronomic connection - 31.07.2026 Spain, Portugal and Morocco share much more than the organization of the next World Cup. Flavors, ingredients, words and traditions have spanned centuries and are still present in the daily lives of these three countries. In the third episode of the special series about the nations that will host the 2030 World Cup, William Bonner visited the three territories to discover how cuisine preserves a cultural heritage built between both sides of the Mediterranean. Globo Repórter this Friday (31) showed how recipes and customs have survived time and help tell the story of people connected by intense cultural exchanges. See the full program in the video above. One of the stories starts with orange. From the Algarve to the Moroccan medinas, passing through Andalusia, the fruit reveals centuries of circulation of people, products and traditions. In Morocco, for example, its name in Arabic — burtuqal — makes direct reference to Portugal. Gastronomy drives Bonner's journey through the three countries. In Portugal, he learns how to prepare the traditional orange pie. In Morocco, he follows the production of artisanal bread and participates in the preparation of tagine, one of the most traditional dishes in North Africa. Along the way, discover recipes passed down from generation to generation and discover how they help preserve the cultural identity of each people. The report also presents orange wine produced in Spain, the artisanal manufacture of orange blossom water — an ingredient used in Moroccan sweets and perfumes — and the history of the Portuguese cataplana, the utensil that gave rise to the dish of the same name and whose origins go back to the Arab influence on the Iberian Peninsula.
