The Galician Gastronomy Express Tour is a 5-day food-focused journey through Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña and Vigo in northwest Spain. The itinerary includes hotel accommodation, an expert guide, selected meals and transport, with each stop revealing a different side of Galicia’s culinary culture.
Galicia is one of Spain’s great food regions, shaped by the Atlantic, the seafood of its rías, local markets, traditional dishes and distinctive wines. Santiago brings centuries of pilgrimage and market culture, A Coruña combines city dining with the Atlantic coast, while Vigo places you at the heart of Galicia’s fishing and seafood traditions.
Over five days, the journey brings together fresh shellfish, regional dishes, local wines and the cities where Galicians themselves eat. It is designed for travellers who want to understand the region through its food, not simply collect restaurant reservations along the way.
