Estuary Cruise + Mussel Tasting

At the scheduled time, we will meet at the port of Villanueva de Arosa and board the catamaran for a journey through the Arosa estuary, the largest in Galicia.

As we navigate the estuary, we will pass by the rafts in Arosa. The guide will explain the operations of mussel, oyster, and scallop farms, highlighting the importance of fishing, aquaculture, and shellfish farming in Galicia.

During the cruise, you will taste steamed mussels served with water, wine, or soft drinks. Mussels are a key part of Galician cuisine and are often featured in various dishes.

You will have the opportunity to visit the boat's underwater vision panels to observe the sea wildlife of the Arosa estuary up close.

We will conclude our tour with a return to the port after a 75-minute cruise along the Arosa estuary.
