GALICIA Information - Natural
Parks: AS CATEDRAIS |
|
LOCATION: Region of A Marina Oriental, in Lugo, concellos
of Barreiros and Ribadeo.
SURFACE AREA: 297 hectares. ACCESS:
Via the N-634 road from Ribadeo to San Cos me de Barreiros, a well-marked
turn-off to As Catedrais beach. Local tracks run parallel to the coast.
SERVICES: Accommodation and food in nearby towns and alongside
the road. The Cantabrian high plains are cut vertically, and can be
admirably sculpted. An architect would describe the caves and reefs
along the cliffs as buttresses and arches. It is impossible to take
a bad photo from the beach when the tide is low, or from the top terrace
when it is high. We recommend you to consult the tide schedule, so
that you can walk under the arches and take a pleasant walk barefoot,
as a pirate would. The landscape is a treasure. The area is fitted
out to offer fine walks, including stone steps down to the beach.
The natural area includes other neighbouring beaches and the fishing-port
of Rinlo.
FAUNA: Plovers in winter, presence of the Ruddy Turnstone
(Arenaria interpres). Several species of Dunlins (Calidris sp.) and
the Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica) |
