If you're from Korea, you can't help but have a love for seafood. And if you're looking for a culture that takes great pride in their seafood, look no further than Spain's Galicia, an autonomous region in the northwest known for their ocean delights.

The Galicians are very proud of their seafood, and you can tell. Their markets are stuffed with fresh cod, tubot, red mullet, hake, and sea bream. You can see stacks of shapely oysters, slithery eels, and santiaguinso, curiously large shrimp that are delight to digest.

Sweet scallops known as vieiras, spider crabs known as centollos, and rock barnacles names percebes speckle the markets, curious varieties of seafood indeed! The selections go one and one, from angulas (baby eels) to mejillones (sweet mussels). There is so much to cook, and so many ways to serve them, that you could spend a lifetime tasting and sampling different seafood recipes.

These different elements of El Mercado, the fresh food markets of Santiago, are just one good reason to visit Galicia. If your taste buds aren't enough to convince you to take your next trip, then perhaps enjoying any number of scenic locations, the beaches, rias, fjords, and cliffs, might be another.

Or perhaps you just need something to go with your seafood? Well, you won't be surprised to learn that Galicia holds many vineyard treasures, and many of its white wines are world renowned. Certainly the Galicians will have a recommendation or two to go with your shellfish!
