Highlights
  • Pencil & Fork - 10:30-11:00 | We will meet at 10:30 at Pencil & Fork (Alfredo Vicenti 29), a cosy and stylish establishment in the centre of La Coruña, to start our great day with some coffee and handmade pastries. We will the make our way to visit the famous and vibrant food market at the Plaza de Lugo (a 7 minute walk)
  • Praza de Lugo - 11:00-12:00 | We will see the never-ending varieties of seafood and fish just coming fresh from the boats every day, ready for selling. The market also hosts a second floor for meat and poultry, and a third one for veggies and fruits. We will be witnesses of the trading environment with the locals. A great opportunity to learn about the Galician gastronomic culture, one of the best (if not the best!) in Spain. The guide will buy all products we will need for the Cooking Masterclass we will enjoy in the evening.
  • Casa Museo Picasso - 12:00-13:00 | Casa Rita, Payo Gómez 8 (next to Casa Museo Picasso).
    It will then be time for an ‘aperitivo’ so we’ll go to a local and typical bar nearby to enjoy an ‘aperitivo’: a drink and a sharing platter.
    Note: the restaurant could change based on availability
  • A Taberna de Cunqueiro - 13:00-14:30 | We will then enjoy a tapas lunch and dessert at a typical ‘taberna’ just a few minutes away.
    The first part of our day will be over around 14:30 to have some free time to enjoy the city or a well-deserved siesta!
    Note: the restaurant could change based on availability
  • Pencil & Fork - 18:00-20:30 | At 18:00 we’ll welcome you back at Pencil & Fork for our cooking workshop. After a welcome cocktail, we will prepare a delicious seafood dinner (with the products bought in the morning at the market) enjoying a nice local wine or beer too, of course.
