Las Catedrales Beach
The most amazing thing about Las Catedrales Beach is that seen from above, it seems that giants came millennia ago swimming to its shore to remain embedded there transformed into rock. Even the central structure is shaped like a turtle. While the huge rock formations seen on land resemble the remains of an ancient temple with multiple hallways of gigantic walls that was left there and eroded by the centuries and the sea.
Its original name in Galician is Praia de Augas Santas, or Aguas Santas Beach and it is located in the province of Lugo.
Another notable feature is that this beach offers two landscapes. The water partially floods the rocks at high tide, but it is at low tide that they can be explored while walking through its corridors on its fine white sand. Between the months of July and August, and during the Greater Week (Holy Week), visitors must obtain a permit to access the beach. You should always check the tidal schedule as a forecast, this to carry out the experience at low tide and thus appreciate the rock formations in all their splendor.
From Galicia, the most recommended access would be to take the Cantabrian Highway and then take the detour that indicates exit 513.
