Ría de Arousa Seafood & Queimada Cruise

Embark on a delightful catamaran adventure through the Arousa Estuary while savoring seafood and queimada in this excursion departing from O Grove. Experience a visit to mussel farms and enjoy a taste of the renowned Albariño wine!

Description

We will gather at the O Grove port at the scheduled time and board the catamaran for our journey through the Arousa Estuary, also known as the Ría de Arousa.

During our voyage, we will glide past notable sights such as A Illa de Arousa and Cambados, recognized as the capital of Albariño wine. Interestingly, this town received the distinction of European Wine City in 2017.

As we continue, we will view the mussel, oyster, and scallop farms, stopping at some along the way. While admiring the stunning coastal views of this region within the Rías Baixas, we will indulge in a sumptuous seafood platter.

The culinary selection features Galician empanada, brown crab, velvet crab, four crayfish, prawns, cockles, and mussels. For those who prefer, a non-seafood menu with grilled meat is available. All dishes are paired with Albariño wine, beer, or soft drinks, followed by a traditional cake from Santiago for dessert. Enjoy!

After our meal, we will experience one of Galicia's most enchanting traditions: the concoction of queimada. You'll observe the ritual of crafting this local beverage and have the opportunity to sample it alongside crema de orujo, a cream liqueur.

Concluding this experience, we will return to the O Grove pier, wrapping up our activity after a delightful two hours.
