Itinerary
We will visit one of the chapels with the most history in Galicia. Located in a wonderful enclave, this chapel hides stories of Celtic origin, in addition to its incredible location.
Leaving this wonderful tasting, we will head towards Praia da Lanzada, a place that hides Celtic legends and traditions, as well as Christian rituals. We will arrive, and we will be delighted with the beautiful panorama that the bay leaves us, as well as the sea tirelessly breaking against the stones. (optional)
Boat trip (optional). Experience a unique experience with our famous Mussel Boat Trip. On board, you can taste this delicious freshly cooked local product, accompanied by the best Albariño wine, while marveling at the stunning views of the Ria de Arousa, the largest and most beautiful in Galicia. We will sail to the pans, the traditional wooden platforms where the mussels are grown, to discover up close how this authentic Galician delicacy is produced.
After eating mussels, and other seafood that they can offer us, we headed to one of the most charming towns in Galicia, Combarro. Its horreos, near the sea, its stone houses, its well-kept streets, make this small town an authentic unforgettable place in which to walk. We will have time to lose ourselves in its streets and learn about the tradition of our community.
What would it be like to come to the Rias Baixas and not get to know Illa da Toxa? We will visit the island, with its famous Capela das Cunchas, a chapel completely covered with scallop shells, as well as its bridge that connects O Grove with A Toxa. Galician waters and rafts are known worldwide, so we will take you for a walk along the coast, on a catamaran to learn about this particular way of raising the delicious Galician mussels. Here, optionally, we will have a catamaran ride of approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes where we will taste mussels, wine, soft drinks and water while we cross the Ria de Arousa.
Seafood capital par excellence. If after tasting the best mussels on the boat, we will have time to sit down to eat in one of the wonderful restaurants that this wonderful town has.

It was a very pleasant excursion and totally recommended. The guide and the driver were very attentive.
Noell, the guide, very good. The visits were short, especially in Combarro. This excursion included the visit to the A Lanzada hermitage and we did not go.
