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 along the estuary, we'll pass by the rafts that dot Arosa. Following the guide's explanations, you'll learn how mussel, oyster, and scallop farms operate, as well as 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 integral to Galician cuisine and are featured in many dishes.

After this tasting experience, you can go down to the bottom of the boat to observe through the underwater vision panels, allowing you to see the sea wildlife of the Arosa estuary.

Finally, we'll return to the port and conclude the tour after a 75-minute cruise along the Arosa estuary.
