About this tour
This call is built for anyone about to eat their way through Santiago and wanting a clearer sense of what they are ordering. Noa explains the market's seasonal rhythms and Galicia's best known dishes before building a short list of places to try them. It ends with a plan rather than a walk.
The two segments move from understanding the food to knowing where to find it, with Noa answering questions about ingredients and pricing as they come up. It runs shorter than her market walk since it is built for planning.
This suits anyone about to visit Santiago who wants a local's food plan in advance. It pairs well with booking Noa's market session either before or after.
Included
- A 45-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
Itinerary

Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Santiago de Compostela, recommendations, or just questions.
-
What to look for 15 min
On the call I explain how to read a Galician menu, what percebes and pulpo á feira actually are, and which market stalls are worth building a visit around.
-
Where to eat it 15 min
I put together a short list of places near the market and the old town that suit different budgets, explaining what makes each one worth the walk rather than just naming them.

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Santiago de Compostela: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
