Considered as the ria par excellence within the unique Galician rias, the Ria de Arousa opens across an exceptional and sheltered water plane of 26 square kilometers.  Located within the Atlantic frame of the Galician Rias Baixas, considered by the mercantile marine as prime shelters, it is thus even more exceptional and ideal for sports navigation.  Of mild and sunny climate, sheltered from winds and blizzards, surrounded by an exceptional landscape of mountains, valleys, rivers, coves, harbors, it is a paradise for sports navigators from all around the world, since such conditions “guarantee” navigation any day of the year as well as waters endowed with many enchanting landfall harbors such as RIANXO, CABO DE CRUZ, CARRIL, BOIRO, POBRA DO CARAMIÑAL, PALMEIRA, RIBEIRA, O GROVE, A TOXA, CAMBADOS, VILAXOAN, VILANOVA.  Likewise, it is close to fish and shellfish markets of great charm, the museum houses of Valle Inclán and Castelao, the Corrubedo Dune Park, the Islands of Malveiras, Cortegada, Rúa, A Toxa, Xidoiros, Sálvora, and so on.  All of this comes within sight and within reach sailing from 1 to 4 hours.  Finally, we should also note the splendid gastronomy of the area, acclaimed worldwide for its shellfish, fish, and meat. Neuralgic center of the Albariño white wine par excellence.
