La Coruña’s Coastal Charms

OVERVIEW

Relax on one of La Coruña’s beautiful beaches after gaining a historical perspective of the city by walking to several of its most revealing landmarks. Founded in the 12th century, Santiago Church has been renovated following several fires and may well be Old Town’s most recognizable icon. Nearby Maria Pita Square tells the story of Sir Francis Drake’s attack on La Coruña in 1589 as it is named for a woman who heroically defended the city during that siege. Free time around a memorial obelisk built in 1895 will allow you to discover the modern side of the city. Then, you will be able to enjoy a refreshing break during which you can delight in a typical Spanish Mediterranean taste while taking in the breathtaking sea view. Alternatively, you can lay your towel on the beach, stretch out and bask in the sun, stroll along the shore without a care in the world, and take a refreshing swim.
