The mussel is the great economic engine of the Arousa estuary and, from some points like the port of Escarabote and Cabo de Cruz, routes are organized for groups that want to know about the cultivation and commercialization of this mollusc. Since the first batea in the estuary had floated in 1945, the mussel is part of the tradition, culture and identity of our country. From the hand of the bateeiros you will know how the life cycle of this bivalve is more complex than it seems: from the time the breeding is collected until it arrives to our table. In this route you can eat mussels with a good wine.
DESCRIPTION: Enjoy a pleasant walk along the estuary while you know first hand and personally the history and culture of the mussel. In addition to the visit to mussel areas where you can see the work of professionals in situ, we will accompany the explanations during the trip of elements that can be seen to really understand and values the mussel culture in the Ria de Arousa.
