North Lugo Highlights and Coastal Villages

  • Connect with your tour guide at the meeting point to begin the itinerary.
  • Start with a visit to Playa de Las Catedrales, a beautiful beach chosen by National Geographic magazine as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The rock formations that resemble cathedral arches, the crystal-clear water, and an unrivalled landscape will make you fall in love at first sight.
  • Then head to Tapia de Casariego to enjoy the western coast of the Principality of Asturias and one of its most beautiful and touristic villages. The promenade will win your heart, while typical Asturian food will satisfy your appetite. There will be time to eat.
  • Next, continue to Illa Pancha. Although it is not a very touristy place, it is a must-see for lovers of the sea and nature. The island is connected to the mainland by a very narrow bridge, and at its tip you can admire the old lighthouse, built in 1857. Herbaceous vegetation covers this stretch of land, especially the beautiful cat's claw.
  • Afterwards, visit Rinlo, the capital of percebes. This fishing village offers many spots for great photos of the fishing houses, the coastline, and the small port. It adds a very typical touch to the Lugo marina.
