The local larder

What people eat in Galicia when they eat well.

Pulpo á feira

Boiled in a copper pot, with paprika, coarse salt and oil; best on fair day.

Albariño

Atlantic white from the Rías Baixas: fresh, saline and made for seafood.

Empanada gallega

Filled with marinated pork, cod or sardines; thin pastry, generous filling, and good cold too.

Queixo de tetilla

Mild, creamy and unmistakably shaped; for dessert with quince paste.

Markets and local produce

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.

Friol has a weekly market, but we don't know which day.
