Flavours


Tapas

There is a better way to relax in the popular wine areas with a local tradition - having tapas.

Countless streets like San Juan, Barrera, Olmos, La Franja ..... full of bars where you can try such delicious tapas as octopus, tripe, squid, all kinds of empanada pie, cheese, fish and seafood. Tradition obliges you to accompany your tapas with local wines like Albariño, Ribeiro, Amandi and Godello, or with a good regional beer - Estrella Galicia.

Traditional taverns where you can still find the eternal marble tables and barrels for stools, or new and modern bars with renovated ideas and more sophisticated tapas.
