The famous gastronomic guide recognises with a new distinction the best establishments to enjoy in autumn and winter.

The hotel and catering industry plays an important role in the Galician tourist offer, which has been recognised with numerous awards and distinctions. This has just happened again with the Autumn/Winter Soletes, a new category created by the famous Repsol Guide, which has included 78 Galician establishments in its first list of outstanding establishments throughout the Peninsula. It is a distinction that follows in the footsteps of the Summer Soletes that the same publication launched at the beginning of last summer season to give visibility to establishments that are close, accessible, affordable and where a good atmosphere reigns.

The Autumn Soletes have focused, in the words of the promoters of this initiative, on those “simple places” that customers would recommend to their friends and relatives. “Honest cuisine, affordable prices and an atmosphere that now also appeals in places designed to keep out the cold: cosy cafés and eating houses where the spoon rules; but also bars with well-stocked bars, cocktail bars to celebrate the return to life, and the occasional winter terrace”. These are the characteristics of a heterogeneous list in which there are proposals for all kinds of public, different times of the day and with offers ranging from a restorative breakfast to a tasty menu and a delicious tapa.

If the Summer Soletes focused on the most popular holiday destinations, these Autumn/Winter Soletes have chosen to highlight urban environments and the spaces in which most people go about their daily routines.
