Attendees enjoyed an interesting mix of talks and tastings of wines from various Galician designations of origin, allowing them to explore the region’s rich winemaking heritage. This event not only provided an opportunity to taste high-quality wines but also aimed to be a meeting point for writers and readers, fostering open dialogue about literature and its protagonists.
The chosen location for this initiative not only holds historical value but also evokes the rich construction tradition of the area, as it is situated near mussel rafts.
