Rodas Beach, Pontevedra
How could it be otherwise, let’s start by talking about one of the most famous beaches in Galicia.

It is located in the Cíes Islands Natural Park, in Pontevedra.
Cathedrals Beach, Lugo
The next beach on our list could not be other than Praia de as Catedrais (Playa de las Catedrales), an impressive sandy area located in Ribadeo , municipality of Lugo.
