Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take from Santiago to the Cathedrals Beach?
It is about 190 km, around 2 hours by motorway. That is why it is a full-day trip; coming back via Lugo barely adds to the drive.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. From €475 for 1 to 4 people and from €510 for 5 to 8, for the usual full-day route. VAT included.
Do we need to book to access the beach?
At Easter and in summer, yes: access is free but limited, and it is booked on the Xunta de Galicia website. The rest of the year you can go without booking. We help you arrange it.
What if the tide is not right?
We plan the timing around that day's low tide. If the sea is very rough or the tide does not allow you down, you can see the arches from the clifftop viewpoints and we spend more time in Ribadeo or Lugo.
How do I book?
Send us the date, how many of you there are and where you are staying by WhatsApp or email. We confirm the timing for the tide and a fixed price.
