"We came to Ribadeo for the 2026 total solar eclipse. We stayed the entire week.
Aurora and Israel are fantastic hosts. They answered all of our questions and served us wonderful coffee every morning.
Advice for others going to A G Porcillan:
1. Parking. Do not try to park at the hotel when you arrive it will likely be busy. Go to Estacionamiento del Puerto de Ribadeo and park there, then walk to the hotel. It isn't far, there are usually spots open, and it will save you from having to turn around in narrow streets. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH TOWN! Google Maps will suggest this, don't do it or you will get frustrated!
2. READ THE BOOKLET in your hotel room. It has all sorts of information you can't find on Google, like the nearest grocery store (GADIS, you can walk, they have wine and beer and fresh bread); restaurants that are open all day, sights to see, etc. I wish we had read the booklet before we ventured out on our own the first day.
3. Ask for the room with the BIG BALCONY. Such a relaxing place after a long walk or a drive around the coast. The stray cats on the rooftops were entertaining. And it was cooler out there (the hotel does not have A/C but they provided a standing electric fan).
4. Aurora will provide the paperwork and information to visit Praia as Catedrais. This is very important, that you GO 1 HOUR BEFORE LOW TIDE. If you go after low tide you might get kicked off the beach. Trust your hosts.
Love to Aurora and Israel! --Sarah and Adam"
"Staying at Turismo Rural Suquin was like getting to stay with family you love but rarely get to see. It's a warm and welcoming place with a beautiful orchard to stroll through, a salon for reading or working, large and comfortable rooms, and a terrace with a lovely view of verdant fields. The owners were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us find everything we needed. When I look back on my time staying in the Navia area, I'll always remember the kindness...and the poems with breakfast!! I hope to return."
"The room was big, clean and comfortable. The hotel was beautifully kept. The river terrace was impressive (although the weather was not brilliant for us - not the hotel’s fault!). Ample parking and well located for a short walk into town."
"We were very pleased with our stay at this hotel. Elena at the front desk was the best. So friendly, helpful and hardworking. The hotel location is awesome, just a few steps from the lovely harbor and several restaurants and bars. The hotel irself and its room amenities are very modern. The room layout was smart and the furnishings comfortable. One small issue--we were on the third floor but could hear people talking in the street below. Later in the evening the area was quiet, so the issue was moot. Breakfast was not included but was well worth the 10 Euro charge per person. Fresh eggs and bacon or sausage cooked to order, plus lots of other goodies to choose from. Overall, Hotel Puerto de Luarca is a great choice for this area."
