Foz is one of those towns that surprises without trying too hard. Located in the Mariña Lucense, it sits between the Cantabrian Sea and the estuary that gives the town its name, maintaining a close relationship with the ocean that shapes its history and daily life. In this episode, we explore its origins as a fishing port, its evolution as a summer destination, and its current role as an ideal base for discovering the northern coast of Galicia.

In the audio, we walk along its seaside promenade, one of the longest in the area, and talk about Rapadoira Beach and how local life revolves around the estuary. We visit the harbour, its quieter neighbourhoods, and that balance between a relaxed pace and practical services that makes Foz suitable for both short breaks and longer stays.

We also look beyond the town centre. The proximity to places such as As Catedrais Beach, declared a Natural Monument, turns Foz into a strategic starting point for exploring some of Galicia’s most recognisable landscapes. The episode includes historical facts, cultural references and small curiosities that help explain why this area has played a key role in maritime trade and Galician tourism.

If you want to discover Foz with context, without rushing and with useful information to help you move around the town and its surroundings, this episode is for you. Press play and join us on this journey along the coast of Lugo.
