Take a stroll along the sea between the arches of the “stone cathedral”. This is what awaits you if you decide to visit the beach of As Catedrais in Ribadeo. The bizarre shapes created by the wind and water make this beach one of the most beautiful in all of Spain. So when the tide goes out, it’s best to take off your shoes and go for a walk along the beach that you won’t regret.

Each of the four facades of the cathedral is strikingly different from the neighboring ones, and the reason for this is the multiple reconstructions undertaken in the 16th-18th centuries. The cathedral is famous not only for the relics of St. James, but also for the largest censer in the world: it weighs 80 kilograms, and is comparable in size to an adult person. To fill such a vessel, 40 kg of coal and the same amount of incense are needed.
