Podcast no.26 - Las Rias Baixas
by Ben Curtis
Live from the Rias Baixas, the fjord-like inlets that strike inland along Galicia’s Atlantic West Coast. Starting in Carril, in the Ria de Arousa, then on to Mogor Beach in the Ria de Pontevedra, and finally to Vigo, where we watch the Ostreras preparing Oysters on the Rua de Pescaderia in the Barrio de Piedra.
Notes: Berberechos (pic above) are in fact Cockles. And if you are driving around Spain, follow the green-highlighted roads in the Michelin road atlas.

These just keep getting better! Loved the ambient gaita music in Vigo. I’ve just got to get to Galicia one of these days. Maybe a nice graduation present… Looking forward to the next (Spanish) one!

i wished I had checked my ipod and re-listened to your rios biaxas podcast before I went to Vigo last weekend.. I was at the mountain bike downhill world cup which was just to the south of Vigo in those Eucalyptus forests, I stayed in the more modern end of the town and missed the street you talk off but yes the Rias are amazing I will be going back and probably following your itinery from Santiago to Pontavedra. I returned to Madrid down the Autovia and was lucky enough to stop for food in Sanabria in Zamora which was a delight and the photos i took have convinced both Spanish and local friends they were taken in North East Wales with the purple hearther moorland. Can you tell us more about this portugese border area one day?
