Galicia has two famous offerings: seafood and wine. We spent a day to visit the mussel farms, a winery in the coastal community of Cambados, and an evening enjoying the authentic Galician cuisine and the music of Spanish bagpipes.
The boat owner was so excited to take us out to see how mussels were farmed, harvested. They also steamed plenty for us to taste with wine.

Tubes and tubes of mussels are hanging from the platform and growing under the water:

With wine and steamed mussels, what a life.

We leave for Portugal tomorrow. This concluded our stay in Spain.
