The Manzaneda ski resort is the only resort in Galicia and is divided between Manzaneda and Puebla de Trives. This beautiful site was one of the first Spanish ski resorts to be open all year, so you can enjoy eating in Manzaneda year-round.
When it comes to eating in Manzaneda, the local cuisine is filling, tasty and strongly influenced by the mountains. Pork products, which are mostly used from Celtic pigs, are one of the culinary pillars in this area famous for its handmade embutidos, filloas de sangre, tortas de chicharrones and other similar offers. The roasted goat is another meat specialty in this area, as well as veal from the famous Galician cattle ranches.
The local vegetable garden makes products like succulent vegetable stews, Galician soups and other dishes that are highly recommended during the colder months. Chestnuts, cheeses and other natural products like honey complete the range of culinary possibilities in Manzaneda. Regarding pastries, the famous bica, a cream sponge cake enjoyed in Puebla de Trives, is noteworthy. To accompany all the food in Manzaneda, you should try some of the mencía and godello wines.
