Go on a pleasant catamaran ride on the Arousa Estuary accompanied by seafood and queimada in this activity from O Grove. You'll even visit the mussel farms and taste the famous Albariño wine!

Description

We'll meet at the port of O Grove at the designated time and board the catamaran for our cruise along the Arousa Estuary, known as the Ría de Arousa.

Throughout the crossing, we'll sail by notable locations like A Illa de Arousa and Cambados, the capital of Albariño wine, recognized as European Wine City in 2017.

We'll also pass by the mussel, oyster, and scallop farms, making stops at some of them. After enjoying the coastal scenery of the Rías Baixas, we'll savor a seafood platter.

The menu includes Galician empanada, brown crab, velvet crab, four crayfish, prawns, cockles, and mussels. Alternatively, a non-seafood menu with grilled meat is available. This meal is paired with Albariño wine, beer, and soft drinks, and for dessert, a typical Santiago cake.

After lunch, we'll observe the preparation of a queimada, a traditional drink, and taste it alongside crema de orujo, a cream liquor.

Following this experience, we'll return to the pier of O Grove, concluding the activity after a total of 2 hours.
