How to get to the Mariña Lucense
Access guide: nearby airports, narrow gauge road and Cantabrian highway
CONNECTIONS OF THE LUCENSE COAST
The Mariña spans over 100 kilometers of coastline divided between two poles: Ribadeo to the east and Viveiro to the west. Lacking its own airport, the arrival strategy requires using the terminals in Asturias or A Coruña and linking via the bus or narrow gauge train network.
Plane
The region is divided into two areas of influence. For the eastern zone (Ribadeo), Asturias Airport is 94 km away. For the western zone (Viveiro), the optimal option is A Coruña (at 108 km). At both locations, you can find car rental companies.
Bus
Connects nationally from Madrid or the Cantabrian coast operated by ALSA. Internally, the company Arriva facilitates local travel.
