playa de las catedrales

我们在加利西亚的海岸附近旅行,然后在落潮的时候以冲刺的速度来到了海滩。(一定要提前确认是不是落潮时期,不然没法走下海滩)。海滩超赞,海水拍打着岩石景象真是太美了!当你走下来的时候,可以钻到岩洞里参观五颜六色的岩石。在其中一个洞里,我们还看见了一个类似于猪的形状,后来发现那是一块被海水冲到里面的木头。海滩超级大,可以在上面步行很久,不过一定要小心海浪涨潮。这里还有一条沿着峭壁的路,在那里不必走下海滩就能看见岩石里的拱洞。

卢戈(西班牙城市)北部的必去的景区。那里有免费停车的地方。如果你去的晚的话,可能就满了。最重要的是,你要记得把握时机:落潮前半个小时去。如果是早晨落潮,那就更好了。这个海滩是受保护的自然景区的一部分。一旦你到那里,你就会明白,为什么“大教堂”的名字附到了这个自然景区上。

驾着车在不同的城市之间旅行的时候,我们顺便来到了这里。很可惜,我们来的时候恰逢涨潮时分,并且天正下着雨,但是那里的风景真是美极了。绝对值得来这里一趟,我想等潮退的时候在去玩一趟。天气不好的时候来这里,比较好的方面就是这里很安静,我们可以好好享受整个空间。但是,显然我们错过了观光洞穴的好机会!

让我们非常失望!没有文明,没有海滩酒吧,没有餐厅,没有五星级酒店!周围什么也没有!如果你想鸡尾酒的话,没有台阶,没有电梯,你必须步行,真的步行!!!

这里是世界上最漂亮的海滩之一。这里不适合游泳因为每天浪潮都会打湿沙子,但是这绝对是难以忘怀的独特经历。

I highly recommend an overnight in the area, so you can see the high tide and the low tide. I could not believe the tide change, from a rough sea and the waves pounding the rocks to a beautiful beach on low tide.

We happened to find Playa de las Catedrales as we were driving from Santander to A Coruna on E 70, the Cantabrian Highway. Needing gas, we pulled off at Exit 508, Ribadeo, turned right, then right again to the first gas station at the edge of town. Retracing our way back to E 70, we saw the sign for Las Catedrales, decided we'd take a break, and turned right toward the sea. WOW! Were we surprised at the gorgeous beach, rock cliffs, arches and other formations we found! The closest thing I can compare this to is the Great Ocean Drive between Melbourne and Warnambool in Australia, with its beautiful rock formations, the Twelve Apostles and other fabulous scenery. Unfortunately, here at Las Catedrales, we had arrived not long before the tide started coming in, so our time was cut short by not wanting to be trapped somewhere along the cliffs. SERIOUSLY, be aware of tide times before you take a long walk here as you could get stranded without a way out. Be prepared to take terrific pics, as you can see by the pics that other reviewers have left here on this Trip Advisor site. If you're in the area, or traveling along Spain's northern coast between Gijon and A Coruna, DO NOT MISS THIS!! Enjoy.....

Check when is the low tide before going. And then get lost in its charming caves and cliffs. After this just try any restaurant around in the main road, almost al are good!

Very unique. Easy parking. A wonderful area for a long walk, then return for coffee. It is not a half day tour, but worth it.

Spain is a great country for vacationing but most people usually go to the South/ costa brava / Costa del sol. Galicia is one of those hidden secrets. Known mostly for the pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela, Galicia offers an amazing coast with sandy and very clean beaches, amazing food and not the over-tourism which is known in other parts of Spain. Playa de las Catedrales has long been one of those well-kept hidden secret in Galicia (not anymore since it was filmed for National Geographic). Make sure you go in the afternoon when the tide is low so that you get to walk on the beach and visit the rock formations. Both the beach route and hill route should be "walked" as they offer different views of this amazing landscape. Summer, especially August, can get crowded but out of season you shouldn't have any problems (September/October is great! Still very much warm and almost no tourists). Make sure you bring your flip-flops or wear shorts (at least pants which you can pull up) since you can get wet by the water/waves even by low tide.

Great place and great views. I would recommend to check the tides in advance in order to maximise your time walking through. Packing there is complicated because there is a limited space and always is full.

If you can plan to be there at low tide it is well worth the traffic and parking congestion to see these beautiful rock formations. We arrived at around 2pm and there was plenty of time to park (we turned right and parked in large field with the thousands of other cars) and walk for 15-20 minutes to the base of the beach to wander around these wonders of nature. Large rock formations of unusual shapes. There are safe but many steps to go down to the beach so be forewarned if steps are an issue. A very nice detour.

It is a very nice and interesting place!!!! The view is fantastic!!! Since we went when the sea was high, we could not go through it! I do understand how spectacular it is and that is why is very touristic!!! But it is not a place to see twice!!!

The rock formations of this beach can only be seen, photographed, and truly enjoyed if you are there during low tide. Otherwise, it is just another nice beach on the north coast of Spain, track the tides. If you cannot arrive for low tide, not worth the deviation. It is right off the main highway the crosses the entire north of Spain, Autovia del Cantabrico. It has a high oriced and average outdoor casual dining place and the only paying bathrooms I have seen in Spain, costing .50 Euros! Not handicap friendly or easy access for elderly.Over-rated natural attraction. Water very clean for swimming but very cold.

The car park isn't very big, so it gets filled up very quickly, especially during peak seasons, so allocate some time for this as you may have to wait or drive round and round, waiting for someone to leave.When the tide is high, some beaches and formations disappear, but walking along the cliffs can be a thrilling experience as long as you don't go too close, particularly if it's very windy. When the tide is low, you can walk from beach to beach, in and out of the arches and caves...For more information and photos, visit my travel & photography blog, nodirectionsknown.
