Ría de Arousa Seafood & Queimada Cruise

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 places like A Illa de Arousa and Cambados, celebrated for Albariño wine. This municipality was awarded the title of European Wine City in 2017.

We'll pass by mussel, oyster, and scallop farms, making a stop at some of them. After admiring the coastal scenery of the Rías Baixas, we'll enjoy a seafood platter.

The menu includes Galician empanada, brown crab, velvet crab, four crayfish, prawns, cockles, and mussels. Alternatively, a menu without seafood featuring grilled meat is available. This will be accompanied by Albariño wine, beer, and soft drinks, with a typical Santiago cake for dessert.

Following lunch, we'll witness a significant tradition of Galicia: the preparation of queimada. We'll observe the ritual for this traditional drink and then taste it alongside crema de orujo, a cream liquor.

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