Full description
A MARISCADA in capital letters.
That's what awaits you during this catamaran trip along the Ría de Arousa. A magical evening of 2 hours and a half where seafood, the colours of the sunset and the tradition of the Rías Baixas are the protagonists.
Can you imagine anything more Galician than having seafood for dinner, watching the sunset over the sea and toasting with queimada?
What we will do
We will arrive at the meeting point in the port of O Grove, Pontevedra, about 30 minutes before the boat departs. We will be welcomed on board by the catamaran crew who, as we leave the port, will give us basic safety instructions.
We will sail along the waters of the Ría de Arousa, enjoying some of the most beautiful corners of the Rías Baixas while the sun goes down and the sky is tinged with orange tones. In this magical setting, the crew will serve us dinner: a typical seafood platter with prawns, langoustines, crayfish, crab?
To put the finishing touch to this experience with Galician DNA, we will attend the preparation of a Galician queimada, with its conxuro de rigor, before starting the return to the port of O Grove.
The total duration of the experience will be between 2 and 2. 5 hours.
