Galician Recipes

Galician cuisine from Spain's rainy northwestern corner is defined by exceptional Atlantic seafood, including percebes (goose barnacles), pulpo, and vieiras. Celtic heritage, lush green pastures, and granite coastlines shape a cuisine that favors simplicity and ingredient quality over complexity. Signature dishes include pulpo á feira, empanada gallega, caldo gallego, and lacón con grelos. Albariño wine and Galicia's own spirit, orujo, complement the region's maritime bounty.
