Bluscus Turismo Marinero

The creators of Bluscus Turismo Marinero have gone from accumulating detailed knowledge of the possibilities of Galicia in every sense to exposing them to visitors so that they take away a deeper vision than what the usual tourist obtains after its passage through the provinces that make it up.

The result of our intentions are multiple experiences with which to immerse yourself in a different Galicia on each occasion:

- In relation to the sea: we will board boats ranging from small boats to classic galleons to explore, for example, the Arousa estuary. We will know how the work of shellfishing is carried out, we will meet the usual fishermen and we will be given the opportunity to imitate their work with them for a day.

-About gastronomy and wine tourism: if the visitor who arrives in Galicia knows something with certainty, it is that he is going to eat tasty products of excellent quality. We will go one step further and teach you not only how they taste but how to cook them. We will make an approach to the wines of the Ribeira Sacra or combining them with a relaxing session at the Balneario de Mondariz.

- On foot through culture and history: we have designed routes through the strong points in terms of architecture, nature and traditions that will take us to the Cambados fish market, the history of Ferrol or the Villa Marinera of Lyre.

Fishing is a modality that sounds familiar to everyone but that not many know in depth. That is why the Bluscus marine tourism team will immerse you in this discipline closely linked to the history of the Community of Galicia.

The idea is that you become part of the crew of a fishing boat to see how they work from their own boat on days like these:

- Fishing day in the Grove: it will be around 5 hours, starting at 9 a.m., in which we will learn to fish with equipment and share a snack in the cauldrons of the Ría de Arousa.< /p>

- Fishing from a boat in the Ría de Arousa: a 3-hour outing that takes Peirao do Cabodeiro as its starting point and adapts to the knowledge of the participants. Those without experience will know how to set up the equipment while experienced fishermen will try to catch mackerel or cuttlefish.

- Fishing by boat in the Ría de Arousa: we will leave for two hours from the Port of A Illa de Arousa to take a trip while we see the fishing gear that is used in the area, highlighting how mussels are grown.

At Bluscus Marine Tourism we are passionate about showing you the real Galicia from its coasts through different nautical experiences. Each of our boat trips is nourished by the peculiarities of our original boats and the theme that we are going to experience on them, which may be focused on the culture or nature of the area.

We leave the choice in the hands of the visitor who will be able to decide between proposals as diverse as these:

- Sail by galleon from Sanxenxo: we will do an itinerary that runs through the interior of the Pontevedra estuary that will take us to the beaches of Areas and O Silgar between others. Being next to the Atlantic Islands Park we will enjoy islands as excellently preserved as those of Ons and Tambo.

- Ferrol by boat for groups: the excursion will take place on a boat that can accommodate up to fifty passengers. A route is followed through the Naval Museum or from Exponav, both of which end in the Magdalena neighborhood.

- From Carril to Padrón: a 3-hour trip on a smaller, more agile boat for a minimum of 7 crew members. We will do a section of the Camino de Santiago along the bed of the Ulla River.

Galician wines are an outstanding part of its heritage that we are going to bring to you from Bluscus Turismo Marinero. We have planned itineraries with different destinations where, in addition to seeing how production is organized, you will have the opportunity to taste the best wines.

- Wine tourism in the Ribeira Sacra: we will spend a full day from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. learning the keys to its wines. We will begin with a visit to the Pombeiro Church, in Romanesque style, to go to the Ribas de Sil Winery for a tasting. After lunch we will go to the Ribeira Sacra Wine Center which is located in Monforte de Lemos where a tasting also awaits us.

- Vino Vizhoja y Balneario de Mondariz: an experience for the pleasure of the senses that includes a 90-minute visit to the winery, a relaxed meal for which we will spend 2 hours and an hour and a half more in the well-known spa. During our visit to the Estate and around the Pazo Torre La Moreira we will participate in a tasting consisting of two wines and an aperitif. The meal will be based on a seasonal menu at one of Arbo's restaurants.

Galicia has as many versions of itself as there are tastes and they are the ones that we are going to show you from Bluscus Turismo Marinero. Depending on your interests, we can focus on gastronomy, culture or the natural values of the Galician lands on expeditions of different lengths. These are some of them:

- The fish market and the port of Cambados: we will walk among the fishing boats while they do their work along the coast. We will have the opportunity to see what seafood and fish auctions are like in an experience of around 120 minutes.

- The Portuguese Camino de Santiago from the coast: we will meet at the Oia Town Hall or the port of A Guarda, as suits you, for a visit of up to 3 hours in which we will see neighborhoods such as of Sanxián and Portecelo. We will highlight the petroglyphs and crosses that mark the religious imprint marked throughout the centuries.

- Folón e Picón Mills: an ethnographic route through the history of the more than fifty best-known mills in the Community located in the natural area of O Rosal. We will spend an hour and a half for this.
