Top Santiago de Compostela Food & Drink Classes

Immerse yourself in the authentic flavors and culture of Galicia in a relaxed and welcoming environment. You’ll enjoy a carefully curated selection of five traditional Galician tapas, each made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that showcase the rich culinary heritage of the region. The tapas include classic dishes like Raxo (marinated pork), Empanada (Galician pie), Chicharrones (Smached pork meat), Pimientos de Padrón (local peppers), and the iconic Tarta de Santiago (almond cake), giving you a true taste of Galicia’s diverse flavors. To complement the tapas, you’ll choose two drinks from a variety of local options—wine, beer, soft drinks, water, infusions, or coffee—allowing you to tailor the experience to your tastes. This experience takes place in a cozy, authentic local bar in Santiago’s old town, a perfect spot that captures the heart of the city’s culinary scene. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a chance to learn, engage, and experience Santiago’s old town like a local.

Tapas is a quintessentially Spanish way of dining but without a local to guide you it can be easy to stick to the tourist traps that lack authenticity.
