Estuary Cruise + Mussel Tasting

At the selected time, we'll meet at the port of Villanueva de Arosa and embark on the catamaran that will take us through the Arosa estuary, the largest in Galicia.

As we sail, we'll pass by the rafts that constitute mussel, oyster, and scallop farms. The guide will explain how these farms operate and the importance of fishing, aquaculture, and shellfish farming in Galicia.

During the boat trip, you'll taste steamed mussels accompanied by water, wine, or soft drinks. Mussels are an essential element of Galician cuisine.

After enjoying this treat, you can explore the underwater vision panels at the bottom of the boat, where you can observe the sea wildlife of the Arosa estuary.

We will conclude the tour with a 75-minute cruise back to the port.
