  • Ortigueira bench in A Coruna, Galicia

    7Ortigueira (A Coruna)

    Several films and series have been filmed on the Loiba coast, in the Galician Rías Altas. Nothing surprising, given the landscape of steep cliffs found in this part of Galicia. In fact, Os Picons de Loiba are giant cliffs shaped by the sea and the wind. Near the shore you can see Pena Furada, an enormous rock. In the distance, you can find cape Ortegal, one of the most well-known capes in the area. If you wish to enjoy the landscape’s full splendour, the best place to do it from is the Loiba bench. To get there, take the AC-862 road towards Viveiro and drive 11 km to Loiba. If you get there in time for sunset, you won’t regret the trip.
