What you can expect
Get ready for a unique day trip from Santiago de Compostela to two of Galicia’s most iconic treasures: the walled Roman city of Lugo and the breathtaking Cathedrals Beach.
️ First stop: Lugo – Roman heritage alive
Step back in time as you explore Lugo, the only city in the world fully enclosed by a Roman wall. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this impressive structure dates back to the 3rd century and still stands completely intact.
Enjoy a 1.5-hour guided walking tour through the charming historic centre. Admire the towering walls, stroll along cobbled streets, visit the stunning cathedral, and discover hidden corners full of stories and local life.
Next: Cathedrals Beach – Nature’s Gothic cathedral
After Lugo, we head to Galicia’s natural wonder: As Catedrais Beach (Playa de las Catedrales). With its soaring rock arches and sea-sculpted cliffs, this beach gets its name from the formations that resemble flying buttresses of ancient cathedrals.
Walk beneath these majestic stone structures at low tide, feel the power of the Atlantic, and enjoy one of Europe’s most unforgettable coastal landscapes. This stop is a favourite for photography lovers and nature seekers alike.
An experience that blends history, culture, and nature
This full-day adventure combines two magical destinations in one seamless experience. Travel in comfort, guided by passionate locals who know every storey and every secret corner.
Whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, or just curious to see Galicia beyond Santiago, this is a journey that will stay with you long after it ends.
⚠️ Important information:
The local operator will contact you to request permit details if you travel in July, August, or September, as required by the Xunta de Galicia.
Departure time may vary depending on the tides. You’ll be contacted 24–48 hours in advance with the exact schedule.
