Following that marine intro we were served a liquid "croqueta", so any crispiness was fully aborted. And it wasn't a bad idea.
The seafood segment was about to get started, and nothing better than a plate of "camarones" to get our fingers salty.
Four gigantic "cigalas" (scampi) made their way to our table; really delicious.
After a short conversation with Pepe, we took one of his suggestions and we tried an albarino from the Salnes valley: Nana.
Mr. Voon rocketed a very nice "merluza" (hake), which I think he hadn't tried before.
Stephen took the pork root, which being in Galicia I think was a smart counterpoint to our introductory sea promenade.
On the menu I saw San Martino, which I'm a big fun of, and it's not an easy fish to find. So my choice was going to be a predictable one, given the circumstance.
The "ternera gallega" beef of the day was Lynne's pick; a really red and really tasty one.
A citric odyssey was served next, together with a chocolate/mint/caramel combo; ideal to transition towards the sweeter part of this new visit to Poio.
A few minutes later a quite unusual hidden peach showed up to continue our "dessertation".
As a palate refresher we got a very smooth portion of pineapple covered with coconut.
The usual Solla lollipops came in as we were about to conclude this unforgettable episode of this initiating trip for the Ronphens around Galicia.
