Discover Ría de Arousa

The Ria of Arousa, the most extensive and rich of the Rias Baixas, is a landscape of incalculable natural value and a fundamental setting in Jacobean legend. Its calm waters are dotted with batheas, the wooden platforms where the mejillón is cultivated, and islands such as A Toxa or the paradisiacal Illa de Arousa. For the pilgrim, this ria is the heart of the "Traslatio" Maritime Route, which recreates the last journey of St. James' body. Carrying out this stretch by boat is a unique experience, following a maritime-fluvial Via Crucis. In addition to its spiritual significance, the ria offers exceptional gastronomy based on fresh seafood, making it an obligatory stop for rest and enjoying authentic Galicia.
