Our new Camino de Santiago by Sea
tour weaves in and out of the
picturesque Rias (Estuaries) of
Galicia's Rias Baixas region.
This private journey starts in Vigo,
the most important fishing port in
Europe, which has a beautiful Ria
holding the secrets of sunken treasure
and historic battles. Being an important
fishing port it is obvious that
the area is blessed with an abundance of
the freshest fish & seafood, on
this trip we will get a chance to savor
many fish & seafood dishes in the best
restaurants of the region, and also
catered lunches when eating aboard the
yacht. Talking about food I can't forget
to mention that this area of Galicia is
also a wine region, bearing the
same name, Rias Baixas. Here can found
excellent full-bodied white wines made
of the Albariño grape variety.
Albariño wines are known as the
"Wines From the Sea" because they go
so well with fish & seafood. In the past
few years thanks to wine writers like
Michael Franz who writes for the
Washington Post, these wines have become
more internationally known, and now can
be purchased in America and other
countries in the world.
In the Rias Baixas there are many
beaches of un-touched beauty,
golden soft sand and clean blue
water. While navigating we will stop
to take a swim in many of these waters,
some where the tourists can't even get
to by land. Also we will visit many of
the small Island off the shore, like the
Cies Islands know as "The Island
of the Gods" and the Ons Islands,
actually just recently these islands and
few smaller ones close by, have been
declared as a national park called "The
Archipelago Atlantic Islands National
Park" . Here can be found all types
of wild Flora & Fauna, excellent for
nature hikes & walks.
Our
sea portion of this journey comes to an
end by following around the
Arousa, where according to
tradition, was where the body of the
Apostle St. James (Santiago) was
brought to Galicia after his martyrdom
in Jerusalem in the year 44 AD. In the
village of Padron it is said to
be the place where the tomb of St. James
was discovered, from here it was brought
to where now the Cathedral of
Santiago de Compostela stands. What
a great way to finish to this
gastronomical, cultural, nautical,
sailing adventure by standing in
front of this outstanding Pilgrimage
Cathedral!

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
