Say Cheese in Betanzos

La Coruna Say Cheese in Betanzos

Tour the ancient city of Betanzos for an inside look at the production of Galicia’s best cheeses.

Visit Betanzos for a bit of Galician history and bites of the region's famous cheese. Snug by two rivers, this medieval town padded with large houses with traditional balconies was the capital of one of the Kingdom of Galicia's ancient provinces. Stop at an old plaza to view the Gothic churches of Santa María do Azougue and San Francisco. Then, head to The Cheese's House to learn about the area's gastronomic heritage and taste some mouth-watering cheese, accompanied by Galician bread and wine.
