Food tent
The Plaza de O Castro hosts, during the four days of the event, the food tent of the Mussel and Cockle Festival of Vilanova de Arousa.
With a capacity of 300 people distributed in chairs and long tables, visitors can purchase various types of culinary proposals at discount prices.
Last year, the food tent welcomed more than 4,500 people, establishing an average of 1,500 diners for each of the 4 festive days. The opening hours of the tent are from 12.30 to 4.30 pm, and from 7.00 to 11.00 pm, approximately.
Last year, more than 400 kilos of mussels and 200 kilos of cockles were consumed in this space, which were sold in different dishes, whose prices ranged from 5 to 12 euros. The sale of tickets is carried out at the booth designated for this purpose, located at the entrance to the facilities.
