Parador de Ribadeo
The best views of the estuary
The Parador de Ribadeo offers an excellent viewpoint over the estuary, a Galician mansion at the mouth of the river Eo, which is located in a beautiful fishing and tourist village, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the sea. This magnificent location, on the border between Galicia and Asturias, will let you enjoy unique views of the Galician landscape, the Ribadeo or Eo estuary and the small Asturian villages on the other side of the river. In the hotel, the marine, elegant and well-tended style predominates. The rooms are cosy and the panoramic views, as well as those you´ll discover from the dining room, are splendid. Don’t miss the chance to try the exquisite traditional Galician cuisine, with dishes such as empanada (a local style of pie), lacón (pork shoulder), seafood and Galician wines.
The Ribadeo or Eo estuary, which is part of the River Eo, Oscos and Tierras de Burón Biosphere Reserve, is a natural inlet of great ecological and environmental significance, and also the setting for all kinds of nautical and sporting activities. Here you can try, for example, the variety lateen sailing, the only one of its kind on the entire Spanish coastline.
You’ll be fascinated by the beauty of the beaches along the Ribadó coast, and you mustn’t miss Playa de las Catedrales, which is just ten kilometres from the Parador, and which is considered one of the most spectacular in the world. It has been declared a Natural Monument. It is so called due to a set of cliffs more than 32 metres high which, sculpted by the wind and the sea, form arches and vaults through which the sun’s rays pour, creating a marvellous and unique landscape.
