Sabor das Rías Baixas food truck

The Deputación de Pontevedra is taking its “Sabor das Rías Baixas” food-truck campaign back through Sanxenxo this week, with stops tied to a broader provincial tour promoting local gastronomic festivals. The provincial government said on May 14 that the campaign would be in A Estrada and Sanxenxo on May 16, 17 and 20, and in Ponteareas on May 17. La Voz de Galicia reported on May 17 that the truck was set up that day in Sanxenxo’s Praza do Mar and would move to Portonovo on May 18. The campaign distributes free tastings and promotional material tied to food festivals across Pontevedra province. ### Where is the food truck stopping in Sanxenxo? Sanxenxo appears multiple times on the current leg of the route. The Deputación said the truck was scheduled for Praza dos Barcos on May 16 from 12:00 to 15:00 and again from 18:00 to 21:00, then for Praza do Mar on May 17 from 10:00 to 16:00. (depo.gal) Portonovo is the next named stop linked to the Sanxenxo municipality. La Voz de Galicia reported on May 17 that the truck would be at the Portonovo street market on May 18 from 9:00 to 15:00. May 20 is also part of the same run. The Deputación’s May 14 notice said Sanxenxo was among the municipalities included on May 16, 17 and 20, though the detailed schedule excerpt visible in that release specifies the May 16, May 17 and May 18 Portonovo appearances. (depo.gal) La Voz de Galicia’s May 16 item also tied Sanxenxo to the May 20 date as part of the same tour. (lavozdegalicia.es) ### What is the campaign actually handing out? The Deputación said the trucks distribute free preparations inspired by dishes associated with tourism-designated gastronomic events in the province. Those tastings are paired with printed promotional material listing celebration dates, featured products and the location of each festival. (depo.gal) The campaign is operating with three vehicles. The provincial government said the fleet is running three routes — north, center and south — across Pontevedra province. ### How big has the tour become? The May 14 provincial release put the campaign’s cumulative distribution at more than 57,000 free tapas. (depo.gal) A month earlier, on April 14, the Deputación said the initiative had distributed nearly 48,000 tapas since the start of March and about 7,000 since April 1. Those figures show the pace of the rollout as the trucks moved through a growing list of municipalities. The April 14 release named Baiona, Covelo, Fornelos de Montes, A Illa de Arousa, Moraña, Nigrán, Oia, Pazos de Borbén, Ribadumia, Redondela, O Rosal and Vilanova de Arousa among the previous week’s stops. ### Which festivals is Pontevedra promoting through the truck? (depo.gal) The Deputación said the campaign is built around food festivals of tourist interest in the province. The list in its releases includes events such as Festa do Salmón in A Estrada, Festa da Troita in Ponte Caldelas, Festa da Ostra de Arcade in Soutomaior, Festa do Choco in Redondela, Festa da Langosta in A Guarda, Festa da Vieira and Festa do Albariño in Cambados, and Festa do Marisco in O Grove. (depo.gal) A Estrada is also on the current schedule. La Voz de Galicia reported on May 15 that the campaign would be in the town on May 16, 17 and 20 on Calvo Sotelo street, with service running from 12:30 to 18:00 on those days. ### What happens next on this leg of the route? (depo.gal) May 18 is the next specifically timed stop visible in current reporting around Sanxenxo. La Voz de Galicia said the truck would go to Portonovo’s market from 9:00 to 15:00. May 20 is the next date named by both the Deputación and La Voz de Galicia for this stretch of the tour. (lavozdegalicia.es) The provincial government said A Estrada and Sanxenxo are part of that day’s itinerary, and La Voz’s local coverage linked Sanxenxo to the same date in the ongoing “Sabor das Rías Baixas” run.
