O Grove

O Grove is best known in Galicia for its annual Festa do Marisco, a major celebration of the local shellfish harvest. The town occupies a peninsula at the western end of the Salnés area, between the Atlantic coast and the broad Ría de Arousa estuary. Fishing, aquaculture and seafood markets remain central to daily life, with mussels, oysters and clams closely associated with these waters. A bridge links O Grove to the small island of A Toxa, long noted for its spa tradition. Nearby, the Umia–O Grove intertidal complex is an important wetland for migratory birds.
