lives, come visit this magnificent coastline from the sea on

days in this region you could take a one day wine tour
sampling Albariño white wines of the D.O. Rias Baixas
or Mencia red wines of the D.O. Ribeira Sacra.
If you are just stopping through, or arriving at one of the
ports of call on cruise and have time only for a half-day,
we can offer guided tapa tours in Vigo, La Coruña, Santiago de Compostela

region of "Hot" chefs like; Ferran Adria. Either

capital of this country which has much to offer for culinary
travelers. Learn about Castilian Cuisine with a professional
chef for a half-day cooking class

In the evenings or for lunch this is yet another Spanish
city where tapa tours
are very popular, or try a more "sit-down" gourmet dinner with a commented Spanish Olive Oil tasting in Madrid
