A Special Culinary & Cooking Tour of Spain Based a Small Fishing Village on the Atlantic Coast of the Rias Baixas-Galicia, Spain - Learn About the Gastronomy of Galicia...
On this special culinary and cooking tour of Spain you will be based in Aldan (Cangas), a small fishing village on the Atlantic coast of Galicia, Spain in the area called the Rias Baixas (Low Estuaries or Bays). You will get the chance to learn in-depth about the gastronomy of Galicia by cooking side-by-side with a Galician woman who owns/runs the small Charming Country Manor you will be staying at for the trip. Over the year Aurea has been handed down many traditional coastal cooking secrets of Galicia, which she will share with her guest on their cooking holiday in Galicia.In between the cooking & culinary activities you will get a chance to stroll along the ports of small fishing villages and enjoy exclusive visits to various wineries making the highly acclaimed Albarino white wines of the D.O. Rias Baixas. We will also dine in a few hand-picked restaurant with a mix of local flavors...
from new young chefs like Xos? Cannas of Pepe Vieira offering creative dishes based on fine products of the sea, to traditional small fishermen's taverns right on the docks offering an abundance of fresh seafood (Spider Crab, Bay Prawns, Lobster, etc...) caught just that morning and served in handmade wicker baskets right on the table for everyone to dig in and enjoy this delectable "finger-food".Being right on the coast we will spend a day making a boat trip over to on one of the small Island offshore with beaches of un-touched beauty, golden soft sand and clear blue water. The Cies Islands know as "The Island of the Gods" and the Ons Islands have been declared a national park called "The Archipelago Atlantic Islands National Park". Here can be found all types of wild Flora & Fauna, excellent for nature hikes & walks.A trip to Galicia is not complete without a visit to Santiago de Compostela the Capital of the region and also the end of the important Pilgrimage Way of St. James. Here you will walk the streets of the old quarter and visit the Cathedral which marks the heart of this historic centre.About the Gastronomy of GaliciaThe main allure of Galician Gastronomy is its variety, to such an extent that it is hard to tell which is the most typical dish of the region.
If there is one characteristic that links all the dishes, it must be the familiar, loving way of cooking, with slow craft and varied abundance. The same product can be cooked in many ways and has a different taste in different places. It could be said that Galician cuisine is a classical one, in the sense given by history or art, because it reaches its peak with the simplest elements naturally combined.To speak of fish and seafood in Galicia may be a commonplace, but it is worth a reference. There is a rich variety of fish, the tastiest of them are those caught in the rias or close to the coast: hake, turbot, sea-bass, grouper and sole. They are prepared in classical styles: grilled, a la Gallega (Galician fashion) or caldeirada (a sort of casserole), or else sophisticatedly dressed by expert cooks.
With regard to seafood, shrimp makes a delicious appetizer, as do squid, cuttlefish, served fried or in their own ink, and crab. Barnacles gather the quintessence of all the sea flavours. Others are eaten raw, like the fine cockle (Razor Clams) and its oyster. Another group of seafood which make delicious dishes include the spider crab and its three flavours, lobster, Galician Coastal Cooking, king prawns and scallops, in their uncountable variety of sauces, along with the nourishing and accessible mussel. The final seafood worth mentioning, considered humble because it is eaten every month of the year in every fair in Galicia, is the octopus "? feira", i.e.
cooked, sliced, sprinkled with paprika and salt, and dressed with olive oil.To finish up with this short glimpse at the Galician cuisine, some products must be called to mind: the rich fresh cheeses, the exquisite confectionery and the filloas (a kind of pancake), the most original and delicious dessert that can be tasted in our land.An Unforgettable Cooking Holiday on the Atlantic Coast of Spain..

Why I Love Country Living
As somone who has lived in both places, I can tell you that country living certainly beats the hustle and bustle of city life! Living in a rural area has advantages that simply can't be bought at any price.In the city I was bombarded with the sounds of horns blowing and sirens blaring. In the country I'm soothed by a chorus of whippoorwills, bullfrogs and crickets, along with the pleasant sound of a cool breeze flowing through the trees.On congested city streets I had to deal with frustrated drivers and careless pedestrians. On winding country roads I have to try my best to ignore the postcard-like beauty of the farmland and forests so I can keep my eyes on the road.Yes, country living is the lifestyle that I, like most people who have had the opportunity to experience it, prefer. Instead of pushy salespeople knocking on my door hoping to leave with some of my money, I have warm, friendly neighbors dropping by with baskets of fresh vegetables from their gardens. Not to sell of course...
