Cultural Heritage
Castropol
Castropol is one of those destinations that surprise the traveller with its quiet beauty, its privileged location and its authenticity. Located in the far west of Asturias, on the banks of the Eo estuary, this small fishing village combines history, nature and culture in a unique setting that makes it a truly charming place.
Its historic quarter, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, preserves the essence of a stately town, with cobbled streets, emblazoned mansions, Indian mansions and religious buildings of great value such as the parish church of Santiago or the chapel of El Campo. The urban area, perched on a hill, offers visitors impressive views of the estuary and neighbouring Ribadeo, especially from its natural viewpoints.
In addition to its heritage, Castropol stands out for its links with the sea and seafaring traditions. The Eo estuary, which bathes its shores, is not only a visual spectacle at any time of the year, but also an area of great ecological value where oysters and other molluscs are farmed in a sustainable way. Traditional rowing and boat trips are just some of the experiences that allow you to get to know the environment in an active and respectful way.
In addition to all this, there is a gastronomic offer based on seafood products, a network of routes and trails to enjoy on foot or by bike, and a tranquillity that invites you to relax. Its proximity to beaches such as Penarronda, Arnao or As Catedrais and to other tourist resorts in western Asturias and the Mariña lucense make Castropol an ideal base for discovering the area.
In short, Castropol is a destination to fall in love with for its balance between heritage, landscape and leisurely lifestyle. A charming village that offers an authentic and serene tourist experience, far from the crowds and in harmony with nature.
