Coast & community

Where the sea
meets everyday life.

In Galicia, the sea is part of daily life. This film travels to the port of Vigo and into the estuary, where local people explain the work behind one of the region’s distinctive foods: mussels grown on ropes beneath floating platforms known as bateas.

The story follows that craft from the water to the table. Producers share how mussels are cultivated, while steamed mussels and Albariño connect the explanation with a taste of the region. Along the shore, women who gather shellfish offer another perspective on a community shaped by the sea.

It is an invitation to look beyond the plate and understand the people behind it. Share the film with your advisor as a starting point for a journey through Galicia and northern Spain.
