On Deck with Seve: Traditional Fishing, Marine Life and Albariño aboard the Nuevo Migueliño in Baiona

Under Seve’s guidance you’ll cruise the Ensenada de Baiona, watch traditional fishing techniques, encounter local marine life when season permits, and conclude the outing with a tasting of fresh seafood and albariño—an intimate blend of hands-on craft and coastal flavour.
Baiona, perched on the southwestern corner of Spain’s Galicia region in Pontevedra, offers more than just rugged coastline and captivating ocean views—it invites visitors to step aboard history and tradition aboard the Nuevo Migueliño.

Marine life, including seabirds and the occasional curious dolphin, accompanies the vessel as it meanders through the bay’s sheltered coves and rocky outcrops.
This isn’t just fishing; it’s a cultural immersion. The tour culminates with a tasting of fresh seafood caught during the day, presented alongside Galicia’s famed albariño wine. This pairing offers a true taste of the region, connecting sea to plate in a way few other experiences can match.
