In short, what and where is Coruña?

Coruña is a port city in the northwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula. It is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean making the weather mild throughout the year and humid in winter.

Coruña is the second most visited city in Galicia after Santiago de Compostela (whose old town is better preserved and a treat to the eyes)

I hope to add more information in the future, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, this way I'll be adding more tips and advice to my page. Do check my tips on transportation to and from!

If you want to keep close to A Coruña, just go across the bay to Santa Cristina, Bastiagueiro, etc. Good, clean beaches where all the locals go!
