Travel Canada - Canadian Travel Information Guide

If there's something that Spain shares in common with Canada, it's the fishing industry for sure. And if you've had your share of Pacific salmon, mussels, and crab, but you're still in the mood for exotic seafood delights, you may wish to consider taking your taste buds on a tour of Europe.

One great source of delights from the sea is the region of Galicia, in Northwest Spain. From the wild cliffs and frigid waters of Rķas Altas to the frantic commercial fishing ports of Rķas Baixas, Galicia boasts one of the world's most seafood-abundant coastlines in the Atlantic. Galicia is a natural seafood tank populated by countless fish, mollusks, and crustaceans.

Whether you're in the mood for swimming crabs, clams, or highly-prized goose barnacles, Galicia has many restaurants and cafes to serve up your ocean delights. The seafood that comes from the ocean, off the shores of Galicia has no equal, and whether its spider crab or octopus, you're sure to remember the flavors.

And what better to wash down your tasty shellfish than one of the region's popular wines. The wine region of Galicia, with its endless charm, full of mystique and personality, lush and verdant, grows many native grape varieties, and is known for its famous white wines.

So off to Spain you go, for a culinary vacation you and your stomach will not soon forget!
