The Galician cookery workshop is a three- hour course where you and the cook/professor will be able to savour the dishes prepared. Enjoy a unique experience with your group of friends! We can also arrange cookery workshops for a closed group (minimum of 4, maximum of10 people) for lunch and dinner. Also theme food or tendencies. We offer workshops with fixed monthly dates where you can enrol individually as well.
We also offer workshops for ¨cocido¨ and seafood like langoustine, lobster or spider crab. Prices vary according to the market price of seafood….. Doesn´t that sound tempting?
XL Cookery Workshop is an extended version of the previous workshop. We begin at 9:30 in the morning as we visit the marketplace (price includes transportation) and buy the products we will be using in the dish preparation. Once back in the Quinta de San Amaro, we will taste local wines and cheeses (appetizer), and then the professor and the pupils begin the cooking activities aimed to savour the freshly cooked product. The workshop is finalized with a Galician ¨queimada.¨
This workshop can only be organized for a closed group and for a minimum of 4 people. The marketplace visit can be exchanged for a boat ride in the Ria. This way we can learn about shellfish extraction and the cultivation of the “jewels” of the Ria. We will discover a corner of the Comarca of O Salnes.
Important: This workshop cannot be given on Sunday, Monday and Festive since the market is closed.
Quinta de San Amaro Hotel & Restaurant and Amare Nautical Tourism have organized a day of art fusion, the art of fishing and cooking….#ArtofCookingSeafood

Here, we will see first hand the daily work put in by fishermen in their different occupations, the process of mussel cultivation on a mussel platform and how razor clams, clams and squid are caught on the littoral of the great natural paradise, A Illa de Arousa.
This is a three-hour workshop in which Rocio reveals the secrets to Galician cuisine and we learn how to prepare those products that we have seen on our excursion: clams, razor clams, mussels….
