Prepare yourself before you start enjoying one of ourholiday deals to Ribadeo because the beaches Playa de las Catedrales and Playa de las Aguas Santas are certain to leave you breathless from their grandeur and beauty. Wait for the low tide to discover why the beach is named the “beach of the cathedrals”, as you walk on the sand beneath the magnificent archways. Go up to the Atalaya viewpoint to spot the area where the Eo River meets the Bay of Biscay, and continue your walk along the river to the Faro de Isla Pancha lighthouse.
The architecture of Ribadeo’s historic old town is unique in that it combines artisan workshops and sailors’ lodges with buildings that are witnesses to the flourishing past of the town, such as the villas of the indianos, emigrants who went to find their fortune in the Americas between the 19th and 20th centuries and invested in industry and commerce, as well as social infrastructure. One example of this legacy are the hundreds of these houses using the so-called Indiana architectural style, with European and colonial influences combined with traditional Galician architecture.
Stroll through the streets of San Roque and La Devesa to take in this testament to Ribadeo’s economic, social and urban boom. If you take advantage of our budget trips to Ribadeo in July, you'll be able to participate in Ribadeo indiano, a celebration that will take you back to that Golden Age. July is also the month when you can experience the feast of the Virgen del Carmen, the patron saint of sailors, and witness the procession of boats along the river and the sea, offering wreaths to remember sailors lost at sea.
With our package holidays in Ribadeo, you can enjoy the wonderful Galician cuisine, rich in quality seafood such as octopus, fish such as robaliza or grouper, and seafood such as percebes barnacles, which have their own special festival between July and August, depending on the tides, where you can join the locals and visitors and savour this delicacy.
