Pulpo a la gallega

It is traditionally accompanied by cachelos (boiled potatoes) and often paired with a glass of local white wine, such as albariño or ribeiro.

Is this food connected to the local environment? How?:

Yes! Galicia has an extensive, rugged coastline with many rías (coastal inlets) and nutrient-rich waters, providing an ideal habitat for sea creatures like octopuses. To catch them, many Galician fishermen use traditional fishing methods, such as nasas (octopus pots), which are environmentally friendly and help maintain octopus populations.
