XI Mussel Festival

When I went for a visit to the Asturian town of Tapia de Casariego, I got to witness their three most important events: IX World Championship surfing, IV Craft Fair and finally the most important Mussel Festival XI. The Mussel Festival XI was organized right next to the Craft Fair, in a tent and was a great way to try the fabulous and economical mollusk, which is loved by everyone. The event took place during the Holy Week of March 31 to April 4, 2010 and we could enjoy both tourists and residents enjoy Tapia and mussels in different ways: Steamed, with vinaigrette, sautéed tapiega, tapas and rations seafood such as prawns, crabs or even rice pudding.
