The coast of Rías Altas are lined with wild cliffs and dotted with sandy areas, caves and beaches. Seaside towns alternate with medieval ones.
The Rías Altas, although the water is much colder than in the Rias Baixas, they possess beautiful beaches. Cedeira, an important fishing port and holiday area, is reached by a road hidden in the mountains. Only 12 kilometres away (seven if you take the old «pilgrim way»), is San Andrés de Teixido, a place to which all Galicians had to pilgrimage at least once in their lives to save their souls from sorrow (according to an old saying « after death goes he to Saint Andrew, who did not go in life»). It was the most important pilgrimage in Galicia until the pilgrimage in Santiago.
