The six
Herbeira (Cariño): the highest cliff, dropping sheer into the Atlantic.
Loiba (Ortigueira): cliffs, small beaches and the coast's most photographed bench.
Estaca de Bares (Mañón): the peninsula's northernmost point, with a lighthouse and bird migration.
Chanteiro (Ares): the mouth of the estuary, with San Felipe opposite.
San Felipe castle (Ferrol): fortress and views over the entrance to the ria.
Andrade tower (Pontedeume): the estuary, the bridge and the Eume valley from the town centre.
Getting there
All are reachable by car, though the last stretch may be a track. Herbeira and Loiba are exposed to wind.
For sunset, leave with daylight and bring warm layers. Fog can cover the coast in any month.
Care
Keep back from cliff edges: the ground can give way. Watch children and do not cross livestock fences.
On stormy days, avoid exposed viewpoints. Wind can knock you off balance.
