Octopus, that fascinating marine creature as versatile as it is in gastronomy, has its own day of tribute: International Octopus Day. Every October 8th, seafood lovers around the world celebrate this day with dishes that highlight the delicacy of this cephalopod, with one dish in particular that holds a special place in Spanish cuisine: Pulpo a la Gallega, and at Lobito de Mar Marbella, we couldn’t forget about it.

A Dish with History and Tradition

Pulpo a la Gallega, or “Pulpo á Feira” as it is also known, is a dish that embodies the essence of Galician gastronomy. Its simplicity in ingredients and preparation only serves to highlight the quality of the main product: the octopus. Cooked to perfection, sliced into rounds, and seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, paprika (sweet or spicy, to taste), and coarse salt. All of this is served on a bed of boiled potatoes that is a must.

But this dish is not just a recipe; it’s a tradition, an experience that takes us back to Galician festivals, where it is enjoyed informally, but with a reverent respect for the main ingredient.

History of Pulpo a la Gallega

Pulpo a la Gallega has its roots in the ancient Galician pilgrimages, where this delicacy was prepared in large copper cauldrons during fairs. Originally, octopus was not a local product; it arrived from the coasts of North Africa, transported along the Camino de Santiago. Galician fishermen began incorporating it into their diet due to its easy preservation in brine. Over time, octopus became an essential food in Galician popular celebrations.

The use of paprika, imported after the discovery of the Americas, is what gave it the characteristic touch we know today, combining the flavors of the sea with the smoky aroma of this spice. In this way, Pulpo a la Gallega has transcended borders, becoming an iconic dish not only in Galicia but throughout Spain.

So whether you enjoy it at home or in a restaurant like Lobito de Mar, this October 8th, don’t forget to pay tribute to the octopus with a good Pulpo a la Gallega! The perfect excuse to savor a tradition with modern touches.
