As Catedrais Beach & Ribadeo Tour

After being picked up from your hotel or the meeting point, you'll leave Lugo towards As Catedrais Beach. This northern Spanish coastline area features awe-inspiring rock formations, with arches and caves visible only at low tide, designating the beach as a Natural Monument. The enormous cliffs resemble cathedrals, contributing to the beach's nickname. It is also known as Praia de Augas Santas, or Beach of the Holy Waters.

One notable structure is the Los Moreno Tower, designed by a student of architect Gaudi.
