La Coruna is a port city on Spain's sunny Galician coast, and has a little something for everyone: plentiful shopping, excellent food, a vibrant nightlife scene, and a sweeping gold crescent of sand. It also boasts a charm-filled old town to explore, centered on a grandiose town square, Plaza de Maria Pita.
A statue of its namesake, a 16th-century woman who warned the town of Sir Francis Drake's invasion, takes prominent place, while the city's ornate Town Hall attracts most of the attention with its bronze-colored domes. A Coruna's star attraction, however, is the Tower of Hercules, a stout Roman lighthouse, which offers sweeping ocean views.
The best things to do in La Coruna include admiring the rich Galician heritage and history of the port town in north-western Spain. You’ll find monumental landmarks like the Tower of Hercules alongside a collection of small but immaculate bays and soft-sand beaches.
