Castropol
A white town on the Asturian side of the Eo estuary, with tiered houses on a peninsula facing Ribadeo across the water.
The old town of Castropol sits on a peninsula jutting into the estuary. Its white-walled stone houses with slate roofs, narrow lanes and small seaside squares are very quiet. You can eat estuary oysters at harbour restaurants. The views back toward Ribadeo and the bridge are excellent. It is about a 10-minute drive across the bridge, or you can cycle along the estuary path. The surrounding area is a well-known oyster farming zone of the Eo estuary.
