Discover firsthand the fascinating process of mussel farming, from its breeding phase until it is ready to be marketed. All this at the foot of the batea, from the emblematic floating platforms that dot the Vigo estuary and form an inseparable part of the Galician landscape. On board an old bateeiro boat – once dedicated to mussel farming – you will learn about the different inshore fishing techniques that are still practiced today.
