4.8/5
17 reviews

Leaving Santiago de Compostela, you'll go to the wonderful city of Lugo, a city famous for its incredible Roman wall surrounding the city. You'll also visit the majestic and stunning Cathedrals' beach and when it's low tide you will be able to enjoy rock formations made by erosion of the sea.

First, you'll visit the city of Lugo, making a tour of the old town lasting about one hour and a half, you'll discover the famous Wall of Lugo, an almost intact Roman walls and cathedral, and wander and get lost in the old city.

Afterward, you will head to Ribadeo. This town in the north of Galicia is gaining popularity due to the beauty of its streets. This site is a living history of emigration from Galicia, especially to Latin America. You will see all these constructions made by the Galicians who returned, making this city a very special place and a direct witness of this phenomenon.

Finally, you'll head to the beach Aguas Santas, or as it is popularly known, Beach of the Cathedrals. Its large rock formations evoke the flying buttresses common in Gothic cathedrals and that's why it's commonly known with that name.

*Depending on the tides, the tour itinerary mvary. You might visit first the city of Lugo and secondly the Cathedrals' beach or vice-versa.

    Iba preocupado por el horario de la marea baja, pero coordinaron todo al milímetro. La Playa de las Catedrales en su punto perfecto

    La Playa de las Catedrales es impresionante y ver la muralla de Lugo le dio el toque histórico perfecto al viaje. Muy bien organizado.

    Coordonner la visite de la plage avec la marée basse n'est pas simple, mais l'équipe a tout géré à la perfection. La promenade sur les remparts de Lugo était également une très belle surprise.

    Buscábamos una excursión que combinase naturaleza y cultura sin la paliza de conducir. La caminata entre las grutas de las Catedrales impresiona muchísimo y el casco histórico de Lugo es una joya.

    Ver las Catedrales con la marea baja impresiona un montón. El autobús muy cómodo y el itinerario nada pesado.

    100% recomendable. Hicimos este tour con Tour Galicia y salió todo redondo: historia en Lugo, paseo por Ribadeo y broche de oro en las Catedrales. ¡Un día genial!
