Catedrales Beach near Ribadeo
However, at high tide, the sea reclaims its territory, par-
tially submerging this stone labyrinth and offering an
equally dramatic perspective from the viewpoints atop
the cliffs.
Declared a Natural Monument in 2005, beyond its sce-
nic value, this site symbolises the harmony between
untamed nature and the fragility of its ecosystems, re-
minding us of the importance of preserving such mar-
vels for future generations. A place where time, carved
in stone, invites contemplation and awe.
After lunch at Restaurante Casa Vicente in Castropol,
our train takes us from Ribadeo to Luarca—less than
two hours that bring us to the “White Town of the Green
Coast”, offering a peaceful view of white houses reflec-
ted in the waters of the harbour. The indiano heritage
of this part of Spain already greets us and will soon
appear in all its splendour.
Now in Asturian lands, dinner aboard the train offers
a first tribute to the region’s cuisine, as we enjoy the
beautiful scenery between Cudillero and Oviedo. It’s
our second night on board, and we’ll sleep in the capi-
tal of the Principality of Asturias. To close the evening,
a piano concert invites us to unwind after a full day.
