Free tapas in Santiago de Compostela
The Tita4.3A small bar in the historic centre, but it has gained a lot of fame in recent years. The reason for their success is the omelet they offer with consumption. It's really impressive the quality of this omelet they offer in La Tita. And the ration is pretty good. Two of those omelet rations fix you half food or half dinner without a problem. |
The Cave of the Raging Tiger4.3The star cap are the rabid tiger mussels, which are famous throughout Santiago, although they do not correspond to what most of us understand by tiger mussels (those fried with the mussels cut, covered with bechamel and grated bread). In this case they are steamed mussels accompanied by a "rabid" sauce that bites but gives them its point. |
Orella4.3Here the top queen, as you will have imagined is the product that gives name to the place, the ear of pig, in this case cooked and seasoned with pimenton and olive oil. In the bar, there's always a little bottle of pepper in case you want to get more. |
Abellah4.2Located in the heart of the historic town of Santiago de Compostela, about 50 metres from the cathedral, you can enjoy its famous crocodile cap. Despite what its name indicates, the main ingredient of this enigmatic cover is the pig's back that is accompanied by homemade potatoes. |
San Clemente4.3With each consumption they give you like 6 tapas and in the next round equal. You're going home for dinner. |
A Tasciña de San Pedro4.4Here the tapas are more elaborate. You can find a lentil casserole, some ali oli potatoes, calos (on Sundays) or hamburgers (on Thursdays). In addition, it has a good selection of wines to accompany the cap. This small place is located on the Cross of San Pedro (entrance to the French Way). It was a life-long bar that its new owner has reformed without losing the usual clientele and environment. |
A Moa4.3Here's the cover for you.. By entering, on the left, you will find a table with snacks, such as fries or olives, which can be accompanied by rich silos that will be in a pot or any other dish your chef has cooked that day. In addition, all this is accompanied by a rich Galician bread of excellent quality. This is one of the classics of the San Pedro Rúa. Although it has different spaces, including a nice terrace in the basement (for the restaurant), the tapas are served in the bar at the street foot. In peak hours it's usually full. |
Moha4.4Rua Nova, it's the potato tortilla street, highlighting the Moha Bar potato tortilla. Creamy, with its loose potato, and with a sweet curly due to the onion. This exquisite truth. |
Trafalgar4.2Trafalgar Bar in Santiago de Compostela. In this bar you have to try the 'Raging Tigers', but eye, we warn you that they are as good as spicy!! The bar is well known for this elaboration, hence the flare tiger of the poster of its facade. |
Mars4.1Another reference among the spikes of Santiago is El Mars, the bar of the praza Rodrigo de Padron, which triumphs both for its tortilla, "máis calada, e meso con ebola," and for the various and bold possibilities it makes with this dish. One of the last is the cod omelet with black alioli. |
O Piorno4.5A plateau that bets on the variety in its courtesy tapas, with singularities, such as the one to offer some day chicharoni. This place offers free spikes especially on Friday and Saturday. "We usually have duas tapas quentes and mais olives. A tortilla never lacks e vai accompanied by raxo, chipirons fried, zorza or criollo second to xornada," they clarify from the establishment. |
Santiago de Compostela is known gastronomic, among other things, for its free tapas. It is something that he shares with cities such as Granada, León or Lugo with which he also has in common that it is not gold all that relays in that miniature cooking mode. It is true that practically everywhere they will put a free cover with your wine or your beer, but it is true that in many places it will be something without too much interest. Are there any courtesy covers worth it? The truth is, yes. Santiago has been offering something free along with drink for over a century, a custom that comes from when the cattle market was held in what is today the park of the Alameda and the taverns tempted the ferries arrived from all Galicia with free samples of their specialties.
