This city is famous for fresh octopus! It's called 'pulpo' in Spanish. Santiago is also famous for it. This guy must pose for pictures 50 times a day. Seems to love the tourists.
Restaurants that serve octopus or pulpo are called Pulperia. We chose the oldest (60 year old family business) and most famous Pulperia to have dinner. We figured it's best not to take a chance with getting served a bad pulpo.
It was very good once you got past the tentacles and suction cups. This plate of boiled octopus was enough for both of us for dinner, plus bread and vino, of course.
It has a very meaty consistency, not slimy or gritty. Yummy! Aren't you surprised I actually tried something kinda gross?
Today we finished walking 100 miles in 11 days! We have 33 miles in 4 days left to walk to Santiago. We arrive Sunday morning. Wow.
The next 2 days, we are in regular hostel dormitories. Stay tuned for those pictures. ;)
Love,
Mary & Sam
