| The
Tavern of "The Papuxa" |
“The
Papuxa" is a very typical tavern in Ribadavia situated in the
´Puerta Nueva´ (Big Gate), known inside and outside
of Galicia.
There is a variety of dishes to eat, such as the local sausage,
as well as the many hams and wines of Ribadavia.
On occasion the clients are allowed to visit and enjoy the cellar
and you can eat outside, where there is a sunroof and in the summer
is like paradise.

The
tavern’s motto is that ‘Here nobody controls nobody,
and everybody behaves with good faith. If you want to deceive, you
are free to do it, although it will be on your conscience’.

There
is a popular rumour that below there is tunnel from the cellar that
goes to both the Avia and Miño rivers, and that in the olden
days when the Catholic kings expelled the town’s Jewish inhabitants,
some used the tunnel to escape capture.
It was founded in the 1918. In this tavern you may enjoy both specialities
and singing, especially when pleasantly intoxicated by the wine.
We recommend that you find a comfy leather sofa to while away the
hours.
There are wooden beams with the pleasant lighting. The half-opened
doors invites the visitors to the medieval world and it is this
that makes the tavern special. |
