Las Catedrales beach has been declared a Natural Monument and is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful and unique in all of Spain. To understand what makes it so special, you just have to wait for the tide to go out. At that time, you will be able to walk through it and admire the huge stone arches and caves that have formed this extraordinary construction of nature.

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.
