Braving the Tides for Goose Barnacles on Spain’s Rocky Coast

- The González sisters-Susanna, Isabel, Lala and Belén-ply their collective trade as percebeiras, or goose barnacle hunters, in Baiona, Spain. While the barnacles, or “percebes” as they're called in Spanish, are plentiful along the rocky Atlantic coast of Galicia, harvesting these little culinary delicacies is often a difficult-and even dangerous-job. Treacherous footing, rogue waves and bone-chillingly cold waters are but a few of the hazards that percebeiros must contend with on a daily basis. For these reasons, percebes command high prices on the seafood market. Traditionally, barnacle hunting was a male-dominated profession, but together, the González sisters are carrying on a family legacy of living off the sea.

You guys should do a video about the timeout market in Lisbon! It was a run down local market that was rented by Timeout and now it's a really popular food court type market. All the food there is amazing and they have lots of traditional Portuguese food!
Cold waters?
How do you guys find these amazing people and their stories? Like mikey's ice cream, the accordion player and the sisters of sea. Their stories are amazingly brilliant and you learn more about the world and other people's lives.
