Information
Irún, a border town with a rich history, blends Basque culture, vibrant architecture and natural beauty, with nearby mountains and beaches inviting exploration.
Ribadeo is the capital of the eastern Mariña lucense. It is a place to start the North Way, very popular with pilgrims who do not have enough days to complete a longer section of this itinerary (Irún – Santiago). Ribadeo is right on the natural and political border with Asturias, so you can discover the cultural relations and influences on both sides of the estuary. In addition to visiting the old town, what you should not miss under any circumstances, is to visit the beach of As Catedrais. However, to gain access, you must apply for a ticket on the website in advance, otherwise you will have to be content to see it from the top of the cliff. Remember, too, that the beach is only accessible at low tide.
