Who hasn't seen a photo of this Galician beach where stone arches emerge from the sand, reminiscent of the flying buttresses of a Gothic cathedral? The Playa de las Catedrales could not have a more apt name. But these arches were not created by medieval master builders. No. We owe them to the slow work of Mother Nature. We are talking about the most important set of rock arches on the Iberian Peninsula. And not just arches: there are also caves, passages and galleries carved by the winds and waters of the Cantabrian Sea.
