Melide is famous for its restaurants which specialise in Pulpo Galego / Galician Octopus (although this is a relatively modern tradition). You'll pass several on your way through. Good reports of Pulpería Garnacha. If you don't fancy octopus Pizzería Xoldra, on the right on the Camino, has been recommended. Besides this Melide is known for cheese and sweets (melindres pastries and almendrados which is a hard, sweet biscuit made from almonds).
