Finished this first stage of these tapas route but without leaving Pescadería Vella where we come back, we enter one of this hidden alleys of the Old Santiago to meet the realm of the mushrooms (pleutorus ostreatus), the Gamela, where the speciality are the grilled portions of this mushroom accompanied by the most different food.
and tinned food and vegetables which can be well accompanied by a wine from that beautiful land between León and Galicia.
And, as already said, we come back to the Pescadería Vella in order to stop in the Cabalo Branco, hidden in a square corner where always find shade and fresh air apart from the very plentiful and assorted tapas.
After a little slope, helping to burn up some of the calories gained in the last stops, one gets the Bodeguilla de San Roque, a place which was the first wine cellar of Santiago de Compostela in a time that even there was not the designations of origin. La Bodeguilla has one of the best wine cellars of Compostela, with wines for its offer of cheese, sausages and cooked plates portions.
Just opposite the entrance of Cabalo Branco, one of the narrow alleys of Compostela leads the traveller to the Praza de Cervantes and from there, begins to go down along the Acibechería to find O Filandón. The entrance is a wine shop and traditional products and the back part of the place is a bar where can taste the specialities of the house: wines, tapas and portions. Opposite this place, the Iacobus open its doors, initially specialized in coffees (belongs to a franchise) but converted in a Basque tapas place. Leaving the Rúa da Acibechería, where the Camino de Santiago and its troop of pilgrims runs along, one enters Rúa da Troia, where a building which was the students hostel that Pérez Lugín immortalized in his novel “La Casa de la Troya” and undertook later for film industry by Rafael Gil with actors as renowned as Arturo Fernández or María Isbert, is situated. Facing the house, now a museum reproducing faithfully the ancient hostel, Bierzo Enxebre offers its specialities from El Bierzo and Galicia in portions, standing out the sausages
Not so far, one gets Los Sobrinos del Padre where the octopus is remarkable, both in sanwiches and in portions.
And, at the end of the route, visitor walks to the north passing between the convents of Carmen and Santa Clara, works of the Compostelan baroque until getting El 13, a place not fit for superstitious people who won´t enjoy, if they don´t want, its inside terraza in which taste its wines accompanied by pork cold meats or cheeses. From here, San Domingos de Bonaval park, one of the quietest and most surprinsing ones of the city, is a stone´s throw away. Visitor can recover from the overindulgence in food and drink there or, if he prefers, visit the two museums limitting this park: the one of the O Pobo Gallego (ethnographic), located in an ancient convent of baroque architecture, or the Centro Gallego de Arte Contemporáneo (CGAC) (Galician Contemporaneous Art Centre),
