Orense - Santiago de Compostela

Found it! The place I want to be drinking and eating solo in Santiago. Full of local vibe, inexpensive (it caters to the locals; not the pilgrims) great location and good, honest tapas. Popular with the university students (see menus prices for why). The boss is an old mama who's been here for ever and still rules the roost. Buy a bottle of local whitefor €5!!! and enjoy!

This is not a trendy yuppy bar. No, it's where the locals hang out and enjoy wine poured directly from the barrel into traditional ceramic bowls. The place is family run and offers bar snacks on a budget. We enjoyed the new wine for 50 cents in the traditional Galician ceramic bowls plus free tapas. We will return.

Very peculiar little bar. Lighting is terrible and service too but it provides an insight into the local scene. It is the kind of place you won't see any foreigners and we knew this and this is why we went in. It is worth it just for that as drinks are cheap. A glass of ribeiro is drunk in those traditional porcelain drinkers.

Tomamos unos cafés y carajillo y volvimos para tomar unos Gin Tonics

Lugar curioso para tomar un vinito blanco de barrica con una tapita de embutido discreta pero por solo 0,60
