Few destinations reward wandering like Santiago de Compostela, and no one shows you why quite like a local. On this food tour through the city's Old Town, you'll follow granite streets that have guided pilgrims for over a thousand years, tasting the dishes that fuel Galician life along the way. Start with Polvo a Feira, Galicia's beloved octopus tapa, then move on to a generous helping of traditional tapas, a Rixóns sandwich packed with crispy pork, and Zorza con Patatas, a hearty local classic of marinated pork and potatoes. Wash it down with Estrella Galicia, the region's own beer, or a glass of local wine, with non-alcoholic options always on hand. Along the way, your guide shares the stories behind the recipes, the history behind the stones, and why Galician cooking, simple and honest, made with generations of recipes, has kept this city's soul intact. As with every Secret Food Tours experience, there's a Secret Dish waiting to surprise you before the tour's end.
