In the north-west of Spain, in the Galicia region, the province of La Coruña seduces with the richness of its natural and cultural heritage. Between its impressive coastline, its green hinterland and its beautiful historic cities, will be placed under the sign of diversity and wonder.
Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, La Coruna has one of the wildest coasts of Spain. Between Malpica and Muros, discover the Costa da Morte, its cliffs, its beaches, its small fishing ports and its hanging villages on the rocks. Go to Fisterra to admire the sunset near the lighthouse or to Carnota to enjoy the longest beach of Galicia (7 km). But also enjoy the beauty of the rias (Altas, Bajas) which offer ideal conditions for practicing sailing, diving, water skiing or fishing. If you are rather a fan of surfing and windsurfing, many shores will also allow you to indulge in these nautical activities.
Maritime land, La Coruña is also distinguished by the beauty of its cities and has the particularity of owning two capitals : A Coruna, capital of the Province, and Santiago de Compostela, capital of the region. In A Coruna, enjoy the Romanesque city center with its beautiful churches of Santiago and Santa Maria do Campo, as well as the Maria Pita Palace and the Roman tower of Hercules, the oldest lighthouse in the world still in use. In Santiago de Compostela, admire the many monuments that have earned this place of the Christian pilgrimage the classification of Unesco world heritage : the Romanesque cathedral, the Benedictine monastery San Martin Pinario, the hospital of the Catholic Monarchs, Saint-Jérôme...
But many other cities are worth seeing like Betanzos (Gothic churches, tower, park...), Mondoñedo (cathedral, museum...), Lugo (Roman wall, city hall...), Ourense (Roman bridge, palace...), Tui (Cathedral-fortress, medieval center...) or Vigo and Ferrol. After these urban stages, discover the hinterland and dive into the heart of green Spain. Explore the trails of the Fragas natural park on the river Eume, a veritable forest jewel, or the last kilometers of the Compostela road. During your walks, take some gourmet breaks to taste the local specialties : octopus a feira, empanadas, inch-foot, caldeiradas, cheeses, tarta de Santiago, filloas...
