The Rías Baixas are located in the southwest of Galicia (Spain). They are surounded by the sea, and they have rías (inlets) that provide to this area the finest seafood in the world. Its gastronomy is based on good quality seafood (clams, mussels, cockles, oysters, crabs, spider crabs, barnacles, lobster and cephalopod molluscs), on traditional recipes such as filloas (similar to omelettes), fish, several kinds of cheeses (tetilla, requesón...), a tasteful white wine (albariño) and so on.

The rías are full of mussel platforms that visitors can see travelling along the rías. In this area the fishing industry is so high that the Vigo's port is the second biggest port in the world.

The Rías Baixas gastronomy is so important that during the year the different municipalities celebrate events in honour to seafood or other traditional products.
