Why Eat & Walkabout?

Explore Sustainable Slow Food Tours in Galicia & Portugal with Trusted Local Guides

Our food & walking expert guides have spent years scouting the best places to walk and eat, discovering all kinds of gastronomy between each scenic stop. A passionate father and son duo of guides, we are based in Cangas, do Morrazo, Galicia, Spain, and operate from the Trebella - Espazo de Traballo

At Eat & Walkabout, we´re committed to sustainable travel, offering locally sourced food experiences and walks that connect deeply with the land and people. We proudly promote guides with a conscience, who are not only knowledgeable but also dedicated to responsible tourism.

We want to show you a different side of the destinations we cover, what we call the Slow Way Food Touring. Beginning close to home, we´ve developed unique food and walking tours that celebrate local culture, cuisine, and landscapes. Learn more about Eat & Walkabout´s distinctive touring style here.

An area very close to us, and to our family roots, is the Southern Rias Baixas coast of Galicia, which forms the heart of our tours. This stunning region stretches into the lush River Miño wine country, bridging Galicia and Portugal. You can even walk from one country to the other, a true beyond borders gastronomic experience that blends culture, cuisine, and connection.

Beyond Galicia and Northern Portugal, we´ve carefully selected the best guides and tour providers to partner with, expanding our Slow Food Touring experiences into other regions of Spain, Portugal, and Italy covered by E&W.

Representing Galicia at the Spain Tourism US-Canada Summit

In June 2025, Eat & Walkabout had the honour of attending the Spain Tourism US-Canada Summit in Seville as a selected supplier. This prestigious event, hosted by Turespaña, Turismo Andaluz, and Turismo de Sevilla, brought together over 70+ top-tier travel agencies and tour operators from across North America.

Our Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer, Tiernan O’Rourke Araujo, proudly represented us and presented our exclusive collection of luxury tailor-made tours in Galicia and surrounding regions. As a Destination Management Company (DMC) rooted in sustainability, this was a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded partners who share our passion for authentic and responsible travel.

Showcasing Sustainable and Culinary-Focused Travel in Spain

Over the course of the summit, 77 North American travel buyers engaged with 68 Spanish destinations, DMCs, hotels, and tourism businesses, highlighting the richness and diversity of experiences available throughout Spain.

We were especially proud to highlight our sustainable tour offerings, which include curated food and wine experiences, slow travel options, and immersive cultural encounters that honour the traditions of Galicia. Our mission is to offer unforgettable travel experiences that support local communities and preserve the natural beauty of the region.

This event not only reaffirmed the growing demand for luxury, sustainable travel but also strengthened our belief in the importance of personalized, experience-rich journeys. A heartfelt gracias to our partners and everyone who made this event such a success—we look forward to future collaborations and continuing to inspire travellers seeking premium, meaningful adventures.

A Message from our founder Sean...

I have decided it is time to use my year´s of knowledge in the travel industry to build an experience-based DMC/Tour operator offering the best food, wine/drink and walking related experiences around the world! This is how Eat & Walkabout was born.

Together with my son Tiernan, we plan to show visitors the slow way to experience the food, culture, nature, etc... of our selected destinations! Come with us on an Eat & Walkabout!

What does Eat & Walkabout mean?

We came up with this name by combining two of our favourite activities or experiences that go so well together…

EAT: Eating is such a pleasure in life if done right! Let us show you how to eat right and experience a destination through its food culture.

+

• British: An informal stroll among a crowd conducted by an important visitor.
• Australian: A journey (originally on foot) undertaken by an Australian Aboriginal in order to live in the traditional manner and be in contact with nature.
• by Crocodile Dundee: A spontaneous journey through the wilderness of one´s choosing in an effort to satisfy one´s itchy feet, a need to be elsewhere, the craving for the open road, that space over the horizon...yes... something like that... you can´t quite touch it so you have to go find it because it´s you just know it´s there...Or maybe it just feels good to go walking around ... :wink: Yeah. It´s WALKABOUT.
