Shopping

The artfully naive blue-and-white porcelain that is the town's trademark is available for sale at Sargadelos, Rúa Nueva 16 (tel. 98-158-19-05). A competitor that stocks similar ceramics, plus a wide range of other regional handicrafts, is Amboa, Rúa Nueva 44 (tel. 98-158-33-59).

A favorite of most tourists is tarta Santiago, a tart sold at virtually every pastry shop in the city. Also very popular is queso de tetilla, a local cheese shaped like breasts.

Many of the local wines, including assorted bottles of Ribeiro, Condado and, most famous of all, Albariño, are sold without fanfare in grocery stores throughout Galicia. But for a specialist in the subtleties of Galician and other Spanish wines, head for Charcuterías Seco, San Pedro Mezonzo (tel. 98-159-12-67).
