La Atlántica is Serious About Galician Craft Beer

As if out trip to Santiago couldn't get any better, we managed to get invited to a semi-private beer tasting at La Atlántica! Only one of the beers was actually a Galician craft beer, a home-brewed Gose, oddly enough. It was lovely. Brewed with actual seawater, if you can believe it!

Read MoreBest coffee in Briòn at the Cafe Bar Altamira
/
Cafe Bar Altamira is more than a coffee shop, as you can probably guess from the name. The place gets lively around mid-day and stays that way.

But at Albomar, it was fall-apart flaky and good, almost like a firm fish. By not chewy, we mean NOT CHEWY in the slightest. Almost freaky great. And their breading was fantastic and light, adding to the experience.
