General presentation
Ría de l'Eo et Oscos
Extreme west asturia, between estuary, artisanal villages, beaches, mills and small rural valleys.
The discovery of Ría de l'Eo and Oscos revolves around Ribadeo, Castropol and Taramundi. The stay thus alternates between the coast, the countryside, the forests and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: tides to check for beaches and wet weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Ribadeo
Ribadeo looks at the Eo River from the Galician shore, with bourgeois houses, a port and water-facing walks. The city also serves as a practical base for the lucense coast, but its views to Castropol and the bridge over the estuary already give a strong maritime impression.
Place
Castropol
Castropol occupies an elegant position on the edge of the river Eo, facing Ribadeo and the calm waters of the estuary. Its narrow streets, galleries and views to the sandbanks make up a peaceful stop, especially when the tide discovers the mudflats.
Place
Santa Eulalia de Oscos
Santa Eulalia de Oscos lends itself to a precise walk between center, side passages and views of the relief. The place increases in intensity when one observes the matter of the buildings and the surrounding relief in the same gesture. Clear days offer a great readability.
Coast
Plage des Cathédrales
The Cathedral beach is spectacular at low tide, when shale arches, caves and sand corridors become accessible. At high tide, the scenery looks rather from the cliffs; the real relief of the site therefore depends on the timing of the tides as well as the light.
