Why this destination is a must-visit
Curiosities of Cabanas
Cabanas is one of those places where river, forest and sea meet in an almost magical way. Many travellers simply pass through on the way to Ferrol or visit for its famous beach, but this coastal town hides fascinating stories.
Here are a few curiosities that make Cabanas truly special:
- The naturalist who “chatted” with Darwin
One of the most surprising facts is that Víctor López Seoane lived in the Pazo de Cabanas, also known as Casa Grande de Rioboo. This renowned Galician naturalist exchanged correspondence with Charles Darwin himself. Seoane was a pioneer in the study of Galicia’s fauna and flora, leaving a legacy that still forms part of the region’s scientific history.
- The bridge of 79 arches
The bridge connecting Cabanas with Pontedeume was, in its original 14th-century construction, one of the longest in Europe. It had no fewer than 79 arches and even included two towers, a chapel and a hospital for pilgrims in the middle. Today only 15 arches remain from later reforms, but it still symbolises the historic link between the two towns.
- A forest frozen in time
Cabanas is one of the gateways to the Fragas do Eume Natural Park. What makes this forest extraordinary is that it is considered one of the best preserved examples of thermophilic Atlantic forest in Europe. Its ecosystem has changed so little since the Tertiary period that walking here feels like stepping into a landscape millions of years old.
- Pinar de la Magdalena, a refuge with history
Magdalena Beach is famous for its vast pine forest. What many visitors don’t know is that this area became the favourite summer retreat of the Galician bourgeoisie during the 20th century. Today the pine grove coexists with one of the calmest beaches in the region, often described as a natural saltwater pool.
- The Golden Torque of As Modias
In the 19th century a golden torque, a Celtic neck jewel, was discovered in the Castro de As Modias. It is considered one of the most important examples of ancient castro gold craftsmanship. The piece is now preserved in the Archaeological Museum of the Castle of San Antón in A Coruña, reminding visitors that Cabanas was already a strategic place long before Roman times.
- A tip not to miss
If you enjoy hiking, the Ruta da Auga is highly recommended. This trail passes old watermills and hidden streams that many travellers miss when they only come for the beach.
A Coruña is one of those destinations that quietly surprises you. Perched on Spain’s wild Atlantic coast in Galicia, this elegant seaside city blends dramatic ocean views, rich maritime history and an outstanding food scene. It’s perfect for couples looking for culture and gastronomy, as well as families who enjoy open spaces, beaches and relaxed city breaks with a refreshing coastal breeze.
Make sure you visit:
- The Tower of Hercules, the oldest working Roman lighthouse in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering spectacular views over the Atlantic.
- María Pita Square, the lively heart of the city, surrounded by elegant arcaded buildings and dominated by the impressive City Hall.
- The Old Town (Ciudad Vieja), with its charming cobbled streets, medieval churches and cosy wine bars.
- The seafront promenade, one of the longest in Europe, perfect for scenic walks along the ocean.
- San Carlos Garden, a peaceful viewpoint with panoramic views over the harbour.
Beaches we think you’ll like:
- Riazor Beach, a wide urban beach right next to the city centre, ideal for sunbathing or long walks.
- Orzán Beach, popular with surfers and great for enjoying powerful Atlantic waves.
- As Lapas Beach, smaller and more sheltered, located near the Tower of Hercules.
- Santa Cristina Beach (just across the bay), perfect for families thanks to its calmer waters.
Family-friendly activities:
- Visit the Domus, an interactive museum dedicated to the human body, with hands-on exhibits for children.
- Explore the Aquarium Finisterrae to discover marine life from the Galician coast and beyond.
- Spend time at Monte de San Pedro, where kids can enjoy open green spaces and panoramic viewpoints.
- Take a boat trip around the bay to see the city from a different perspective.
- Enjoy cycling or skating along the safe and scenic seafront promenade.
Make sure you try these local delicacies:
- Pulpo a la gallega (Galician-style octopus), served with olive oil, paprika and sea salt.
- Empanada gallega, a savoury pie filled with tuna, meat or seafood.
- Fresh Atlantic seafood, from barnacles to razor clams.
- Tarta de Santiago, a traditional almond cake dusted with icing sugar.
- Albariño wine, crisp and aromatic, perfect with seafood dishes.
Make the most of your visit and go to...
- Santiago de Compostela (about 1 hour): the iconic pilgrimage city with its magnificent cathedral and UNESCO-listed old town.
- Betanzos (30 minutes): a charming medieval town famous for its Spanish omelette and historic centre.
- Costa da Morte (around 1–1.5 hours): dramatic cliffs, wild beaches and authentic fishing villages.
- Fragas do Eume Natural Park (1 hour): one of Europe’s best-preserved Atlantic forests, ideal for nature lovers.

Ha sido una estancia fantástica. Todo el personal maravilloso, atento y haciendo todo lo posible por dar el mejor servicio. Ubicación excelente para recorrer zonas de interés. Nos dieron una excelente habitación con vistas al mar. Volvería sin duda.
En principio dado lo esperado y la relación calidad precio, nada a sugerir. Sin embargo, sí es cierto que el mobiliario requiere renovación por su antigüedad.

La ubicación
The ridiculous and rusty bathtub without a refrigerator or air conditioning, furniture from another era, outdated and uncloseable windows, a lot of noise and unable to sleep all night.
La bañera ridícula y oxidada sin frigorífico ni aire acondicionado , mobiliario de otra época ventanas anticuadas y sin cerrar mucho ruido y sin poder dormir en toda la noche .

Lo que más disfrutamos era estar todo el día fuera del hotel.
After waiting for 1h 18 min, they give us a room. We entered at 15:20. And we arrived at 13:44. We do not count the remaining 16 minutes until 2pm, which is the check-in time.
We had to check in with all our luggage and with no intention of being asked to come back later like the previous 2 occasions we checked in at reception.
PS: No reception in the afternoons and evenings.
The reception machine was half empty for 4 days. Only some refreshments.
We could not drink fresh water (bought outside) during the night because the room was an oven. No fridge and no air conditioning.
Cleaning, let's say, is not their strong point. There was dirt from the elevator entrance to the last shutter grille.
The beds and the bathroom were like when I was little and I was at my grandmother's house.
The noises from the adjacent rooms and corridors were like being on the street.
Breakfast has a lot, but a lot to improve. 5th grade of most products.
Frozen omelette heated up. Industrial pastries aplenty.
Cold cuts from a bag.
They "have" fruit. But, very unattractive. (Banana from the fridge, poor quality apple and kiwi, "that one was edible"). Expired milk in the fridge for a couple of days.
There were cereals, some who knows when they were opened. The others, more industrial.
Many things are left unsaid, but I don't have that much time.
Después de estar 1h 18 min esperando, nos dan habitación. Entramos a las 15:20. Y llegamos a las 13:44. No contamos los 16 min que restan hasta las 14h que es la hora de entrada.
Nos tuvimos que presentar con todo el equipaje y sin intención de que nos hicieran volver más tarde como las 2 anteriores ocasiones que nos presentamos en recepción.
PD: Sin recepción por las tardes y noches.
La máquina de recepción medio vacía durante 4 días. Solo algún refresco.
No pudimos beber agua fresca (comprada fuera) durante la noche porque, la habitación era un horno. Sin nevera y sin aire acondicionado.
La limpieza, digamos que no es su punto fuerte. Había suciedad desde la entrada del ascensor hasta la última rejilla de las persianas.
Las camas y el baño eran como cuando era pequeño y estaba en casa de mi abuela.
Los ruidos de las habitaciones y pasillos anexos, era como estar en la calle.
El desayuno tiene mucho, pero mucho que mejorar. 5ª gama de la mayoría de los productos.
Tortilla congelada y metida en el calentador. Bollería industrial que no falte.
Fiambre de bolsa.
Fruta "tienen". Pero, muy poco atractiva. (Banana de nevera, manzana de poca calidad y kiwi, "ese si era comestible"). Leche caduca en la nevera desde hacía un par de días.
Cereales había, unos a saber de cuándo estaban abiertos. Los otros, más industrial.
Se quedan muchas cosas en el tintero pero, no tengo tanto tiempo.

Lack of main areas where pets can access, despite being a pet-friendly hotel. In other hotels, even though pets are not allowed in the restaurant, there is an area designated to take out food and be with your pet.
Falta de zonas comunes donde puedan acceder las mascotas siendo un hotel pet friendly. En otros hoteles, aunque no pueden entrar en el restaurante, hay una zona habilitada para sacar la comida y poder estar con tu mascota

La ubicación súper bien además estuvimos en habitación con vistas al mar cruza un paso de cebra y ya estás en el pinar de la playa que por cierto una playa muy agradable
It needs an improvement of the windows did not close well in the bathroom you could hear everything from the street luckily it is low season and there was no noise and the beach bars were closed, but we heard the waves of the sea with the window closed badly.y because it was May but surely in winter in those rooms must be cold because we saw that there was no heating had electric radiators.
Necesita una mejora de las ventanas no cerraba bien la del baño se oía todo lo de la calle menos mal que es temporada baja y no había ruidos y los chiringuitos estaban cerrados, pero oíamos las olas del mar con la ventana mal cerrada.y porque era mayo sino seguramente que en invierno en esas habitaciones tiene que hacer frío porque vimos que no había calefacción tenían radiadores eléctricos

el paisaje desde la habitación espectacular, el personal super amable y el desayuno para ser un 2 estrellas muy buena calidad y cantidad
At night they do not have reception staff and did not give us the code to enter, we asked for breakfast picnic the day of departure and they did not have it for us. In the rooms I would change the slippery bathtubs for shower trays, especially for the elderly. As a tip they could also put a water and coffee machine at the reception.
Por la noche no tienen personal de recepción y no nos dieron el código para poder entrar, pedimos picnic de desayuno el día de salida y no nos lo tuvieron. En las habitaciones yo iría cambiando las bañeras que resbalan por platos de ducha, sobre todo por las personas mayores. Como consejo también podrían poner una maquina de agua y café en la recepción.
