This route is not feasible in summer. The descent to the Ouro River is impassable due to the lack of weed control. The gorse and grass literally reach the handlebars of a large bike.

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.

Las Catedrales beach is a natural monument of extraordinary dimensions. All you have to do is wait for low tide, take off your shoes, start walking... and you'll feel like you're in heaven. There's nothing like enjoying the view of the 30-metre-high flying buttresses, discovering unusual perspectives of arches within other arches. Or simply, letting yourself be carried away by the sandy corridors between slate walls, like in an imposing and whimsical central nave.
