La Vaca Gallega

Did you know that Gallegan cuisine is one of the most esteemed regional offerings in Spain? Though we’re on the Mediterranean, you only have to drive about 20 minutes from La Manga Club to enjoy it. La Vaca Gallega offers typical dishes like octopus “a feira”, empanada, or the delicious “tarta de Santiago”, a cake made from almonds, without requiring you to travel to the Atlantic coast. What’s more, the meat is exquisite, especially the Mountain Ox Ribeye (chuletón de buey de montaña) or the mixed barbecue meat dish (parillada de carne).
