In a town dependent upon poor pilgrims and wealthy to middle-class tourists we set out to find a bar that catered to neither.
Muxia is loaded with places featuring peligrino menus for 8-9 euros or bogavante for 80 euros; all of them enticing visitors of many persuasions to drop as much coin as possible....O Espeto does neither...or at least not as blatantly.
This family-run pub offers the locals exactly what they want: A comfortable place to sit and relax, enjoy a favorite beverage and chat about the comings and goings on of the day.
Their beverage selection is limited. They serve Estrella Galicia on tap (as does every other self-respecting drinking establishment in the part of the world) and basic wine choices. Mixed drink may be a challenge so better off sticking to what sells.
O Espeto is quite generous with their complimentary tapas. Our drink and snack bill for the both of us came to......I'm sorry, I don't want to tell you since you won't believe me. Let me put it this way, we have spent more elsewhere for just a sandwich.
O Espeto is located on away from the tourist shops on the harbor and only a block from an oceanside plaza. It's not that hard to find and we think your effort will be well rewarded.
We will be back. read more
