Camping Playa Ria de Arosa

Beaches, again of course: spend sandy times at Cabio and Lombiña beaches within a minute or two, or make for the sands – and famed harbour– of A Pobra do Caramiñal three kilometres away. More sands, high dunes and nature spotting days are 20 minutes' drive west at the Dunes of Corrubedo Natural Park, a Special Protection Area for birdlife. Around 1,000 hectares of sandy heights are here, including the park's highest dune at a kilometre long: drop into the visitor centre to find out more, or to pick up routes for the three waymarked walks. History buffs have the Dolmen de Axeitos site within 20 minutes for rambles around a megalithic tomb, and the seafront Celtic fortress of Castro de Baroña half an hour away for heritage of a somewhat more modern sort. One of the most visited places in Spain, and the finishing point of world-famed pilgrimage route the St James's Way, is just under an hour away.
