The trip begins at the imposing Cathedral Beach, one of the most emblematic landscapes on the coast of the Lugo region. Known for its natural arches and cliffs reminiscent of Gothic architecture, this beach—formerly called

Augas Santas Beach

It is the result of thousands of years of marine erosion. Its popular name arose in the 20th century, when locals began comparing its rock formations to the vaults of Europe’s great cathedrals. Walking among these arches at low tide is like exploring a natural temple sculpted by the ocean.

The route continues to Rinlo, a small fishing village with a long fishing tradition. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when it emerged as a settlement linked to fishing and shellfishing. Today, it is especially known for its ancient

Shellfish farms

stone structures used since the late 19th century to cultivate and preserve seafood in natural pools fed by the waves. Rinlo retains its historic layout and authentic charm, reflected in its houses perched by the sea and its gastronomy, especially the famous local brothy rice.

Finally, the excursion heads to Tapia de Casariego, now in Asturias, a town officially founded in the 19th century by the Marquis of Casariego, although its roots as a fishing port are much older. Its lighthouse and port, one of the most picturesque in the region, tell the story of a town shaped by its connection to the Cantabrian Sea. Additionally, Tapia was an early hub for the development of surfing in Spain, becoming an international reference for the sport from the mid-20th century onward.

Overall, this excursion offers a perfect combination of unique natural landscapes, seafaring tradition, and coastal history, showcasing the cultural richness of the Galician-Asturian coastline.
