Lugo in the Basque Country has been around for some 2,000 years and is a fascinating and historic city with a wonderful and warm welcome for visitors. However, there is nothing quite like free food. Across the city, bars can be found serving delicious free tapas with every drink you order. 

You can enjoy such delicacies as “pulpo con cachelos” (octopus with potato), tasty empanadas and bollos preñados (stuffed pastries), as well as anchovies, tortillas, and Cuban rice in several of the city’s tapas bars.
