Description

The tour departs from A Coruña and heads to Lugo, a city renowned for its remarkably preserved Roman wall that encircles the historic center. You will enjoy a guided 90-minute walk exploring Lugo’s ancient city, including its Roman wall and cathedral.

Next, the tour visits Ribadeo, a northern Galician town known for its charming streets and unique history linked to emigration, particularly to Latin America. Ribadeo features architectural influences from returning emigrants, making it a notable cultural stop.

The final destination is Playa de las Catedrales (also known as Playa de Aguas Santas), famous for its dramatic sea-eroded rock formations resembling Gothic cathedral flying buttresses. The beach experience depends on tide schedules, allowing a walk through its natural arches and fine white sand during low tide.

The itinerary may vary based on tides, sometimes visiting Lugo before the beach or going directly to Playa de las Catedrales first.
