Parador de Ribadeo

A manor house facing the ría

The Parador occupies a Galician casona (manor house) at the mouth of the Eo, two minutes from the centre of Ribadeo and beside the N-640, which skirts the ría. From the rooms with views and from the dining room you see the whole ría and, on the other bank, the Asturian villages of Figueras and Castropol. The decoration is nautical in style.

Rooms and services

There are three types: standard double, with views of the inner courtyard; superior double, with sea views; and suite, also with sea views. If you come for the landscape, ask for the superior. It has a lift, free wifi, room service, laundry and breakfast in the room. The outdoor parking is free and there is a paid garage. Pets are allowed: Paradores asks you to check its conditions before booking.

The restaurant

Galician seafaring cooking with fish and seafood from the Cantabrian Sea, and dishes such as empanada, lacón (cured pork shoulder), soupy rice with lobster or Cebreiro ice cream, with the ría in front.

For As Catedrais

The beach is about ten kilometres away. If you stay here, at reception they give you the access pass for the days when the Xunta requires authorisation, so you don't depend on the website's quota. The Parador also suggests the Ruta de los Miradores, of 11.5 km, via the chapel of San Miguel, O Cargadoiro and the Illa Pancha lighthouse, and the boat trip on the ría leaves from the port, a walk away.
