The history of the landscapers goes back to the middle ages, and this trade is an inherited tradition of which 650 families live directly.

The quality of the farms is given by the confluence of the Ulla and Umia rivers with the Sea, propitiating a generous ecosystem in nutrients that feed the bivalves of Carril, a phenomenon that only occurs in Arousa Estuaries. North – South winds help create pressure on the surface of the water, producing specific phytoplankton.

If the tide is low, we will walk to Cortegada ́s Island, now part of Atlantic Island National Park where the largest eucalyptus forest of Southern Europe is located. It is also a great place to observe the large diversity of birdlife in our Rías Baixas estuaries. At the end of our shellfishing day, we will visit an artisanal canning factory, where we will enjoy delicious preserved sea products. Moreover, we will finish this impressive day with a lunch made up of authentic Carril ́s clams paired with fabulous local wines.
