As you approach Galicia, the cuisine becomes fresher and Atlantic-inspired, with highlights including pulpo a la gallega, seafood rice and empanadas, rooted in the abundance of the sea and the lush green landscape. Beginning in Castilla y León, you’ll encounter structured reds and expressive whites, including Ribera del Duero, Arlanza and the elegant Mencía and Godello wines of El Bierzo, before reaching Galicia, where the focus turns to the crisp, aromatic whites of Albariño, Ribeiro and Ribeira Sacra, perfectly reflecting the region’s Atlantic freshness.
