Exploring Rias Baixas with Discover Galicia.

The day after my food tour in Santiago de Compostela, I was up bright and early for food tour #2. This one would take me outside of Santiago to explore the Rias Baixas area located on the coast of Galicia and renowned for its Albarino wine. The tour would be a bit different than your standard 3-4 hour food tour in that we'd have a full day exploring cute coastal towns, a winery, and, my favorite part, eating mussels and drinking wine while cruising down an estuary. I wasn't actually sure if I'd get to go on this tour at all since there didn't seem to be enough people interested when I initially contacted the tour company. I persistently pestered Martin at Discover Galicia for months leading up to the date to find out if it was a go. I found out a couple of days before that it was and signed up immediately. I was a bit surprised when I met the group that I was the only non-Spanish speaking person on the tour, but decided to seize the chance to spend the next eight hours with native speakers in the hopes I'd learn some more Spanish. It turned out to be a wonderful day interacting with everyone in my broken Spanish (with some translation help from our fantastic guide, Ruben). ​
