MERCADO DE ABASTOS DE SANTIAGO
Read moreBuilt in 1937, this market boasts more than 80 types of fish and more than 50 species of molluscs. But beware, there is no fish auction on Mondays, so the fish stalls do not open that day. You will also find all the classic stalls in these large markets: meat, groceries, fruit and vegetables. Preferably go there early in the morning, you may come across some chefs who go there regularly.
O REI DAS TARTAS
Read moreThis modern-looking cafe next to a gas station doesn't really look traditional. And yet, this is where you can try the local specialty, the tarta de Mondoñedo, a cake made with angel hair and candied fruit. The company has been here for 50 years, and the "king of pies" has been passed down from father to son. And apparently, many representatives of the Spanish jet set swear by the pastries of Carlos Folgueira and his family! It is essential to stop by and try the recipe.
