Rugged cliffs, rocky coves, unspoiled beaches, seafaring villages, medieval villages, rivers and a unique natural and ethnographic heritage make up the picture of the Rias Altas in Galicia, the most magical and untamed face of the province of A Coruña.

Not far from the tip of Estaca de Bares is Ortigueira, whose charm lies in its stunning beaches, and, half hidden in the mountains, Cedeira, an important fishing port, seaside location and paradise for surf lovers, especially its Pantin beach. Among the landscape of sharp cliffs - the highest in Europe - you'll find the city of Ferrol, the charming Pontedeume and the more touristic Sada before reaching the noble A Coruña with its splendid Atlantic outlook. Inland there are medieval towns such as Betanzos and many testimonies to Galicia's pilgrim heritage, including the sanctuary of San Andres de Teixido, a symbol of ancient rites which still survive.
