Been there twice in July (with kids, in the morning) and September (Afternoon with adults). Both visits were remarkable and very nice. If you be around this area you should go. Also good for kids as it is a wide area where they can run. It is very beautyful what nature has creatwd here.
Note: if I am not mistaken you need to register yourself and all people with you for the vistit at the beach. I am not sure where to donit as it was done by my cousin who is living in Galicia.
2. Parque Natural Fragas do Eume

Not far from the town of Pontedeume following signs to the Parque is a narrow winding road leading into Parque Natural Fragas do Eume following a lovely flowing river. After a few kilometres parking and picnic benches can be found on the banks of the river. Forest, trees and flowers surround the banks; lovely for a walk and great for our dog to have a cooling swim! A few minutes drive further down the road you will find an Information Centre and Café/Restaurant. This is as far as you can drive in a car; from here Buses can take you further into the Parque and to Monasterio de Caaveiro. Walking and hiking is of course alternatives!
We stopped for lunch and a drink and information on how to visit Monfero Monastery.
The Information Centre was very helpful and some English spoken.
The Parque and scenery is stunning and well worth some time to visit!
3. The Roman Walls of Lugo

Reviewed By Dave C - North Conway, New Hampshire
UNESCO deems them the finest example of late Roman fortifications in Western Europe. The entire city is a treasure trove of Roman artifacts. There is a Museum that is well worth visiting, as well as many statues, a Roman bath located in the street behind the Cathedral, as well as a Roman house located below the University. This is well worth a day of your time.

You have to drive up by car but you get a spectacular view over the estuary of Viveiro and Celeiro and beyond. Well worth it for a short walk around the trees, or (as in our case) a steak lunch at the restaurant up there.
5. Pazo de Tor

Closed on Mondays and on the following days: January 1, April 18, June 13 , December 24, 25 and 31.
Reviewed By Terri A - Lugo, Spain
Wanting something to do locally, we decided to take a trip to this Pazo. There are several Pazos but not many of them are open to the public. The one at Tor has only been opened for the last 8 years previously it was in the same family for 400 hundred years. The garden is not formally laid out, thankfully and there is a wonderful labyrinth which is unique in that it is made of stones. We had a guided tour which lasted about an hour and we were allowed to take photos which is not usually the case in historic houses. They are some wonderful pictures and objects throughout the house of which the clavicord was one.
6. Basilica de San Martino de Mondonedo

4.5 based on 124 reviews
Reviewed By loughor - London, United Kingdom
Superb Cathedral with a surprise as it contains a wooden sculpture of the Virgin and Child from the Old (ie pre-Great Fire of London) St Paul's Cathedral in London. There is also a sculpture of St Anne and her daughter, the Virgin Mary, from the same source. One was donated to, the other sold to, Mondonedo after the Reformation. In the cathedral's museum is a lovely sculpture of Joseph and Mary with the boy Jesus between them, hand in hand: I almost wept. The Cathedral itself is a fine piece of architecture too, with superb wall-paintings. afterwards, relax with a coffee at the cafe opposite.
7. Monasterio de San Julian de Samos

Reviewed By Saranger - Los Angeles, California
My second time here. A short taxi ride from Sarria for those starting their Camino there, or for those coming from Triacastela, make the extra effort to come see the murals. Very worthwhile. Tours only in Spanish, but an English brochure may be available at the desk. €3/pp. Bathrooms and gift shop on site.
8. San Nicolas de Portomarin

Reviewed By Leeanne G - Halkidiki Region, Greece
This is the biggest structure in the town and very hard to miss unless you bypass portomarin altogether. The church itself inside is ok but I was really taken by the outside shape of the building. It's not possible to enter while the have a service and they also only have specific opening times if you are seeking a stamp for your Camino passport. It is written in the door.
9. Aldea de Piornedo

Reviewed By Mark A - Baiona, Spain
This hamlet is full of ancient stone huts with the traditional thatched roofs, some with outstanding wooden grain stores.One of them has been converted to an amazing museum, Casa do Sesto, depicting how people lived there in times long gone by so it is well worth a look inside. Coupled with its spectacular remote, mountainous setting in the wildest part of Gailcia where the bears roam wild see a video of museum and surroundings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVAEEZPx9-w, it is a must see visit for all discerning lovers of Galicia. The trip to get there is pretty spectacular too.

Impressive Cathedral front with its plaza in front, entering you feel like you are in a different building, much smaller and lower in ceiling, reducing in hight, and width towards the choir.
