Mar de Frades
Mar de Frades
In 1987, a bodega was established at a location called Mar de Frades, which translates to "Sea of Friars" in Galician. This spot lies opposite the ría Arousa, near the mouth of the river Umia, where ancient pilgrims used to disembark on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The founders of the bodega were drawn to this particular area in the ocean, facing their vineyards, and were inspired by the style of the Atlantic.
