The local language is Galician (kind of Portuguese -and sometimes referred as portuguese variety- very influenced by spanish). So Portuguese and Spanish are also near-universally understood.

Eating

If you like eating, maybe you´ll never come back from Galicia. Some favourites are Empanada (a mixture between a pizza and a meatcake), Pulpo á Feira (octopus prepared with oil, salt and pepper - surely the best octopus you´ll ever find), seafood and a wide range of products made from pork (the whole animal is eaten, even the blood).

Drink

The main drink is black wine, but Licor Café (coffee liquor) is a main choice for those who want to get drunk fast. But be careful, although Galician people are very friendly, severe ingestions of this liquid could cause a problem. Also try Queimada (spirituous liquor with sugar burnt into a pot while a traditional spell is usually said). And if at this point you´re drunk enough, you´re ready to go out. (Nightlife in Galicia doesn´t finish even with daylight).
