Estuary Cruise + Mussel Tasting

At the selected time, we'll meet at the port of Villanueva de Arosa and embark on the catamaran for a cruise through the Arosa estuary, the largest in Galicia.

During the cruise, we will pass by the rafts in Arosa. The guide will explain the operations of the mussel, oyster, and scallop farms, as well as the significance of fishing, aquaculture, and shellfish farming in Galicia.

While aboard, you'll taste steamed mussels paired with water, wine, or soft drinks. Mussels are integral to Galician cuisine and are considered a delicacy.

After the tasting, you can explore the underwater vision panels located at the bottom of the boat, providing a view of the sea wildlife in the Arosa estuary.

The tour concludes with a return to the port after a 75-minute cruise along the Arosa estuary.
