Conchas - literally "shells" in English - are the symbol of Santiago de Compostela and of the famous Saint James Way, attracting millions of pilgrims every year. And right near the most iconic symbol of this town, you will have a taste of an even more iconic Spanish dish: tortilla made with eggs, potatoes and onions. A true comfort food across the country.

Praza de Fonseca is a place where you can truly breathe local atmosphere, with a view on the Colexio de Fonseca - the original seat of Santiago's University - and its beautiful Renaissance courtyard. And right here you will indulge in a tasting of delicious Galician cheese, of course served with a glass of local wine.

Mercado de Abastos is the historical market in town, reconstructed in 1941 even though it has been serving as a local market for more than 300 years so far. Here, both locals and visitors can find a large array of delicacies, like fresh seafood from Atlantic Ocean. This is the perfect place to end your culinary journey, but not before a sweet note! In fact, according to the season, you will either try the famous Tarta de Santiago - a local almond cake - or a scoop of Tarta de Santiago-flavoured ice cream
