The "Peninsula of Shrimp" and a top-class food stop on the Father Sarmiento Route. A paradise for the pilgrim who loves the flavors of the Atlantic.
Discover O Grove
O Grove, a peninsula connected to land by the isthmus of A Lanzada, is an indispensable stop on the Route of Father Sarmiento. Known as "The Shell Paradise", its fame comes from the extraordinary quality of products from the Ria de Arousa. For pilgrims, reaching O Grove is an invitation to a culinary feast. The Seafood Festival, a National Tourist Interest event, is its star attraction. The locality offers authentic maritime atmosphere, with an active fishing port. The walker can take a boat tour along the ria to visit "oyster beds" (mejillón breeding grounds) and learn about oyster farming. Nearby island of A Toxa, with its famous chapel of shells, is another must-visit destination. The natural surroundings, with A Lanzada beach and the Umia-O Grove intermareal complex, are of great ecological value. This stage delights all senses, combining the beauty of Rías Baixas landscape with the excellence of its cuisine.
