What people eat in Galicia when they eat well.
Boiled in a copper pot, with paprika, coarse salt and oil; best on fair day.
Atlantic white from the Rías Baixas: fresh, saline and made for seafood.
Filled with marinated pork, cod or sardines; thin pastry, generous filling, and good cold too.
Mild, creamy and unmistakably shaped; for dessert with quince paste.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
We haven't confirmed Cambre's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
