As Catedrais Beach & Ribadeo Tour

Having been picked up from your hotel or the meeting point, you'll leave Lugo behind, heading towards As Catedrais Beach, characterized by its rock formations. The arches and caves visible at low tide have earned the beach the status of Natural Monument.

You’ll be struck by the enormous cliffs, giving the beach its nickname. It is also known as Praia de Augas Santas, or Beach of the Holy Waters, due to the sacred feel of the landscapes.

After enjoying the breathtaking views, the tour proceeds to the historic town of Ribadeo. Here, you will embark on a walking tour of the old town, admiring architecture of houses built by the so-called Indianos, emigrants who returned from the Americas. One notable mansion is the Los Moreno Tower, designed by a student of Gaudi.

At the end of the tour, you will return to Lugo.
