At low tide, it is possible to walk barefoot between the rocks and in the high caves, and discover intertwined stone arches. At high tide, the beach can be viewed from the high cliffs.

The motorhome parking space is great there, and next to it is a good indoor pool at 26 degrees. There's a small sauna and gym for 5.60 euros. Everything is clean and very friendly.

The Playa de las Catedrales, known in Galician as Praia das Catedrais, is an impressive natural monument located on the coast of the province of Lugo, in Galicia, Spain. Its official name is Playa de Aguas Santas, but it is popularly known as Playa de las Catedrales due to the appearance of its cliffs, which are reminiscent of the arches and vaults of a cathedral.
