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 locations including A Illa de Arousa and Cambados, recognized as the capital of Albariño wine and awarded the title of European Wine City in 2017.

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

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

After lunch, we'll observe the preparation of queimada, a traditional drink, and then we will taste it accompanied by crema de orujo. After this experience, we will return to the pier of O Grove, concluding the activity after a total of 2 hours.
