Castropol-Figueras coastal walk

The trail starts at the entrance of the village, where we will find a suitable place to leave the car. After a few meters we will find an information panel that will give us a general idea of the itinerary.

We continue until we reach Salías, from here we can see a large part of the Linera inlet, Castropol on the left side, Figueras on the right side and in the background Ribadeo and the bridge of Los Santos; the islet of Turullón with its unique silhouette. At low tide you can see the oyster and mollusc crops of the Eo estuary. Spectacular is the contrast offered by the blue of the estuary with the green meadows that surround it. Our next stop is the Esquilo viaduct where we find a small Ribera carpentry. The only survivor of the many that once existed in the area, dedicated to the construction of fishing boats. Behind it, the inlet of the Linera is the contrast that offers a fantastic panoramic view. And a little further on we go back in time to contemplate the remains of the mill of As Acías, an old tide mill. Nearby two small coves offer us the possibility of a swim. We end the route in Figueras, a unique fishing village that deserves a visit. The way back runs through the same place, if we are tired and it is summer we have the possibility of returning by boat.
