Castropol
This small Asturian village sits on the Eo estuary where Asturias meets Galicia, with waterfront views across to Ribadeo and a concentration of scenic viewpoints for its size. Historic architecture spans several centuries, from the 15th-century Capilla del Campo to the 16th–18th-century Palacio de Valledor and Palacio de Marqueses de Santa Cruz de Marcenado, and on to early 20th-century civic buildings. The village also has an unusually strong café and restaurant presence for a settlement of its scale.
