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.

Spectacular natural monument located in the geomorphological formation of the Cantabrian Ridge.

The rocks, mainly slates and quartzites, have suffered deformations over time due to tectonic movements, as well as the erosion of the wind and water when hitting the coast.

In order to fully enjoy this natural wonder, it is advisable to visit it at low tide. It is at this time, when the sea level drops, that you can walk the narrow corridors between the cliffs and caves.
