Octopus is among the most famous of Galician dishes and the version at ABASTOS 2.0 was the best octopus I had ever eaten. The softness of the meat played against the slight char of the outside tentacles combined to make this a dish I will never forget.

These are the much-vaunted percebes, sea barnacles, pried at tremendous peril by specialized percebeiros who clamber down the wind-lashed cliffs to gather these morsels that sell for hundreds of euros in Madrid and other urban centers. It is very much worthwhile to view videos and read about these brave souls; every village memorializes those who have lost their lives in the pursuit of a delicacy too expensive for most locals but much in demand by tourists, like ourselves.

Out of order, but this is the veal that my partner chose as main course; tasty enough but the texture was not as tender as we are used to in the USA. (Partner does not eat shellfish so he eliminated most of the treasures, both here and at the other restaurants we samples during our week in Galicia)

Interior of dining room at ABASTOS 2.0..a top choice in Santiago de Compostela and one that gave us a memorable dinner on our first evening in the city after an absence of more than 15 years!

Lido near Maratea, about 10 euro gets you a chair, umbrella, changing room, and there is a casual restaurant too.

Welcome to Maratea, easy drive from Amalfi Coast, where we spent our first night after arrival from NYC. I had fallen in love with the area about ten years ago and gone back a few times..
