Galicia has a long tradition of celebrating Carnival after Christmas and New Year. Carnival celebrations in Galicia, as in many other parts of the world, involve dressing up in costumes. Typical foods in Galicia include octopus cooked with potatoes and Tabasco sauce, various classes of seafood like shrimp, barnacles, clams, and mussels, and empanada gallega or pie filled with ingredients like tuna, meat, red peppers, tomatoes, and olives.
