Galicia’s seafood is so delicious that the mere addition of ‘de Galicia’ to any seafood dish’s title is generally considered to be a sign of guaranteed quality in the rest of Spain. Familiarise yourself with the ocean’s bounty with a visit to any one of Paradores’ luxury and historic hotels around the region, all of which boast dishes made from the very freshest catch of the day. Traditional staples Due to its location right on the Atlantic, Galicia has always been a region populated by those who lived on the ocean and depended on its waters for their food; the result of this connection is a region steeped in great culinary traditions developed over the centuries. To get a taste of this most traditional flavour, any visitor to Galicia should seek out a bowl of caldeirada de pescado, a fish stew that was traditionally eaten by sailors, but which is now a beloved regional staple. Accompanied by classics like cod on toast with caramelised onion, it makes for a perfect treat on a cold day, and can be enjoyed at Parador Pontevedra, where its Enxebre –Galician Paradores’ in-house, gastronomic spaces featuring the finest local cuisine– boasts this and other classic seafood treats. Savour some classic seafood treats at Parador Pontevedra Seafood is so integral to Galicia that even inland regions have their classic recipes. Parador Monforte – a former palace and monastery – is surrounded by vineyards, not ocean waves, but its baked cod served over sautéed vegetables and raisins is a treat like no other. Regional treats Naturally, no visit to Galicia is complete without pulpo á feira (octopus and potatoes dressed with olive oil and paprika), perhaps the region’s most famous dish. Traditional served simply, on a wooden plate, this delicacy is eaten with bread and a bit of tinto; an especially good spin on this dish is served at Parador Santiago de Compostela, in the very heart of Galicia’s capital. A feast for the senses at Parador Santiago de Compostela! If you truly wish to treat yourself, however, head to elegant Parador Baiona –located within an ancient coastal fortress– for the region’s famous fresh lobster, perfectly accompanied with local Albarinho wine, or perhaps some grilled or baked scallops, caught right on the shoreline. Ready to discover the best of Galicia’s seafood? Contact Paradores to book your visit today!.

  • Exquisite and Inspired Fusion at Fismuler,Restaurante Lúa
    Espacio Cervecero, Mini Mahou Brewery in Madrid Mentally bookmarked for more than a couple months, we finally stepped into Espacio Cervecero Mahou in Alonso Martínez and were not let down. Having no expectations allowed us to be surprised at every turn in this small but compact venue. It’s a little bit brewery and tasting space, a little bit restaurant, a bit gift shop and a bit urban art showroom. It’s perfect if you’ve got family or friends visiting or no plans on any given evening. You’ll certainly be surprised by this unusual center of Madrid find. Did you know Mahou is a family-run business? Or that they made a Stout? And an APA (American Pale Ale)? . At Espacio Cervecero each is served on an individually descriptive coaster for each beer but your “beersommelier” will tell you all about it anyway. These little details are what makes this place unique. It feels small in square meters but packs a lot. There are few beers on tap but this allows for more information to be revealed regarding each one. Before you leave, you’ll be asked to evaluate what you’ve tried on one of a few iPads set opposite the bar. If you go through the graffiti and mirror covered hallway, you’ll reach the restaurant. Like myself, you may be distracted by the exposed industrial decor but don’t forget to grab a board game to play at your table on your way in if you like. You’ll find that the menu is limited but gourmet and ideal for tasting a few different plates.

  • Discover Vigo on a Food Tour, Tasting the Best Galician Cuisine by Eatour Specialist Discover Vigo: Food of Vigo in a Small Group
    Visit us Discover Vigo on a Food Tour, tasting the Best Galician Cuisine by EATour Specialist Discover Vigo: Food of Vigo in a small group We’re in the city of Vigo about to start one of the best culinary tours of the city a food and wine tour but lots of walking is involved around too. Vigo is the gateway to the Rías Baixas and the Galician estuaries and is called the City of the Sea, one of the most popular food destinations in the industry of Spain´s food tourism. It’s the world´s biggest fishing port and has the largest fishing companies, Pescanova. Vigo ( which derives from vicus in roman which means hamlet) has a population of 300,000, the largest city in Galicia but did not become a village until the 15th Century. We meet next to a giant statue called El Salto (The Jump) which is a bronze sculpture from the local artist, Francisco Leiro. We head with our local guide to another bronze statue nearby from local artist José Molares of Jules Verne. He was a French writer who wrote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea devoting a chapter about the Bay of Vigo and the treasure under Rande Bridge. Captain Nemo in Nautilus salvaged gold from the Battle of Rande and used it to pay for his adventures. The writer is seated on a giant squid that attacked the Nautilus. Looking out to see across the Bay of Vigo we can see giant, mussel platforms. We then head for Plaza Compostela and Alameda Park and the attractive buildings around them.

  • GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa Tend to Think That Food and Drink in Goa Means the Famous Fish, Curry, Rice and Feni Package
    GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa tend to think that food and drink in Goa means the famous fish, curry, rice and feni package. And for most Goans these are indeed the three basic necessities of life -- fish, curry and rice. They combine to make a heavenly daily meal for the average Goan. But Goan cuisine, like the land itself, has many flavours and tastes with its vast treasure trove of culinary delicacies. The long period of Portuguese rule, besides that of the Muslim and Hindu kingdoms, has left an indelible influence on the original style of Goan cooking and this has led to an exotic mix of truly tasty and spicy cuisine. Most people who sample Goan cuisine, enjoy this different and unique style of food which has a distinct and unique combination of spicy flavours. A Goan values his food as much as he does his daily siesta (break). And in his daily meal, seafood always has a pride of place is some form or the other. From fried fish to exotic concoctions like ambot-tik, sea food is usually a must on the menu, except for the occasional break for some religious observance. Goans take pleasure not only in what they eat, but also how they cook it. Although modern conveniences have almost completely taken over in urban areas, the traditional way of cooking in clay pots on firewood continues in most rural areas of Goa. This style of cooking adds an additional smoky flavour to the food, highly valued by Goans. Despite the two schools of cuisine traditions influenced by the respective religions of Hinduism and Christianity; there are some meeting points that present an interesting harmony.

  • Gastronomy.Pdf
    Galician cuisine Gastronomy is one of Galicia’s main attractions: the quality and variety of local produce, the lasting traditions and evolution while respecting the past form the basis of Galician cuisine. Local products, whether crops or livestock or, especially, from the sea, have their own special characteristics and are cooked in ways that are traditional and thoughtful, home-made, unhurried, plentiful and varied, giving rise to a special, highly-renowned and much- appreciated cuisine. The importance of gastronomy for Galician’s can be seen in more than 300 food fairs that are held throughout the year all over the Autonomous Region. These celebrations of produce from the land, which generate so much interest among visitors, originated from local or regional celebrations commemorating typical traditions, friends’ meetings, or are held to coincide with harvests or religious festivals, like the pilgrimages, where fulfillment of a promise to the Saint is completed with a traditional meal. From the Sea" Traditionally, Galicia, with 1,300 kilometers of coastline and a huge number of fishing ports, has been a region that lived from the sea and from fishing, one of its inhabitants’ main activities. Accordingly, Vigo is now Europe’s main fishing port and Galicia’s rias are the world’s largest producers of mussels. The coastline’ exceptional conditions, alternating the highest cliffs in Europe with the calm waters of the rias, along with abundant nutrients from the Atlantic Ocean at these latitudes, have formed a unique ecosystem, which supplies the most exquisite culinary markets. Goose barnacles from the coasts battered by the Atlantic waves, Norway lobsters, clams, spider crabs, sea crabs, shrimps and lobsters from the rias, together with oysters, mussels and cockles, among other species, form part of the Galician coast’s treasure, alongside octopus, squid, turbot, red and white sea bream, sardine, wolf-fish and other many species that populate Galicia’s coasts.
