Impressive beach

Visited about a month ago at sunset and place did not disappoint. Impressive beach and fantastic landscape from the rocks. I think this is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. It is important to know, only 5,000 people are allowed to visit...More

Power of Mother Nature

Visited yesterday and although it was foggy in the province of Lugo, As Catedrais did not disappoint. Very dramatic rock formations with caves. We were unaware of having to register but the man at the stairs was very helpful. It was busier than I expected...More

Gorgeous but crowded

Dramatic rocks, most people walk along the sand and wade a little in the water; there is a very small area for swimming. In summer you need to get (free) tickets ahead of time. Go at low tide.

Must place to visit in Galicia.

Sea has eroded rocks delivering us arcs-like-church-arquitraves and caves. Visit does not long more than 3 hours because you must leave place before high tide which covers beach three meters high. Number of visitors is restricted and you must book your visit in Xunta de...More

Can you tell me anything about accessibility and how much walking is involved in getting to the beach itself? I can walk, but better on a straight rather than clambering about, and my endurance is limited due to chronic fatigue.

I am i’m the process of planning an elopement in Spain for Summer, 2019. I would love to be able to exchange vows and have my photo session at this beach. Does anyone have any experience with destination elopements or know of or have any information on wedding/event planners that may be able to help me in this region. Not really sure where to start so any information would be appreciated. Thank you!

Answer
