In the Mariña Lucense we find the well-known Playa de las Catedrales but also other more remote and lesser-known places where you can enjoy a quiet trip and live all the experiences that rural tourism offers you.
The mouth of the Eo River, which acts as a border with another great rural tourism paradise such as Asturias, is the starting point to explore an area that will surprise you with towns such as Lourenzá or Mondoñedo, with its beautiful Cathedral.
The Serra do Xistral is another place in the interior where you can get lost. And if you don’t feel like moving around a lot, you can always go to one of the best rural houses with a swimming pool in Galicia.
