Everything you should know before you book
Santiago eats well. Galicia's larder runs to pulpo á feira (octopus with paprika), tetilla cheese, fried padrón peppers, empanada and seafood straight off the Atlantic, all washed down with Albariño or the local Ribeiro. A tapas tour hops between the old town's classic bars and the Mercado de Abastos market with a guide who orders the right things.
Tasting tours pace the food across several stops rather than a single meal, so you try more without overdoing any one bar. If you'd rather sit down, guided tours that include lunch or dinner combine a walk through the city with a full Galician meal. Both are an easy introduction to one of Spain's most distinctive regional kitchens.
