Restaurants: Santiago de Compostela - Casa Marcelo

This is an amazing place that should not be missed by foodies!  A stones throw away from the Cathedral, Marcelo takes traditional Galician ingredients and prepares delicious plates in a new and interesting way - completely avant garde!  He has a fixed sampler menu that allows you to savor 6 different dishes, all based on what is fresh at Santiago’s Abastos Market.  A dining experience!

Casa Marcelo
Rua Hortas, 1
15705 Santiago de Compostela

Picture this…

Actually picture these!  We’ve done some spring cleaning a bit early this year.  With all these tours and all these photos, we decided that we needed to get some order.  We’ve organized our flickr account to make browsing that much easier.  Enjoy our years of hard work - aren’t we lucky to love what we do!

Saludos,

Alex
