Fresh Fish & Tapas

Rounding the rocky island that guards the entrance to the Ria Arousa, the warm air falling from the mountains, we dipped and dived through the fishing boats, and wound our way up to the town of Vilagarcia and its friendly welcome.

Smiling faces greeted us, and with the beer came the tapas - and only a euro a time! The problem was with every beer,or wine, more tapas. Even in the cafe at ten in the morning when you order a tea, or coffee, it comes with orange juice and a cake or croissant!

A visit to the market is a must. The food is so fresh, and compared to England, cheap. The big difference was the enourmous variety, and just how fresh it all was. So fresh that the shrimps, prawns and langoustine were all still alive.
