Description

Would you like to visit a cathedral on the beach? Halfway between Ribadeo and Foz, in the middle of the Mariña Lucense, the beach of Augas Santas is better known as beach das Catedrais because of the wonderful arches and shapes that the Cantabrian Sea has formed in the rocks for thousands of years. The peculiarity of this beach is that the arches and shapes formed by sea erosion are only visible at low tide, because when the tide rises, the shapes and arches are covered by the sea. Declared a Natural Monument, to visit this wonder of the coast of Lugo is necessary to make a reservation in advance, as the massive influx of tourists has already begun to make a dent in the rocks and cliffs, but if you come to visit the beach with us will not need a reservation, and we take care of having everything ready for you to enjoy. The ideal complement to visit the beach das Catedrais is the city of Ribadeo. Located a few kilometers from the beach of Aguas Santas, the last Galician coastal town before entering Asturias has Roman origins, but it was the Marquis of Sargadelos who promoted and activated this town full of stately mansions. To remember its modernist past, Ribadeo celebrates at the beginning of July the Fiesta Indiana, in which the people of Ribadeo go back 200 years in time. We can enjoy the seafood cuisine of the Ribadeo estuary after a stroll through the center, approach the Illa Pancha lighthouse, which currently houses one of the most unique hotels in Galicia or swim in one of its many beaches. Houses of indianos, baroque churches, the port of Porcillan or the castle of San Damián, all this we can find in the capital of the estuary that divides Galicia from Asturias.
