A Coruna on a Budget
A Coruna, Spain
A Coruna is a busy port city located on a promontory of Spain's Galicia region. It is the capital city of a province of the same name, exhibiting a mix of the old and new from an ancient Roman lighthouse to modern apartments known for their glass balconies. Some of the highlights include the variety of architecture both age-old and modern, the old town, several museums, the harbor, and beaches.
Sights
Perhaps the most recognized landmark of the city is the
Tower of Hercules, a Roman lighthouse which has been in continuous operation likely since the 2nd century AD. Today it is an UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounded by a public park on a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. A Coruna's Old Town also has a number of historic sites including Roman walls, fort remnants, as well as the city's oldest church, the Church of Santiago, which dates to the 12th century. There are a number of other important churches as well as the historic home and museums of Emilia Pardo Bazan, a famous Galician writer. The home of Picasso is also located in the city, with a small plaque placed outside to identify it.
Some of the city's other notable museums include the Castle of San Anton Archaeological Museum, a Military Museum, Fine Arts Museum, Unión Fenosa Museum of Contemporary Art, a National Museum of Science and Technology, Casa de las Ciencias which has a planetarium, and the Aquarium Finisterrae.
As for the modern part of the city, A Coruna is sometimes called the glass city due the glass balconies, called gallerias, which dominate the modern buildings.
Neighborhoods
A Coruna as a whole is a mix of the old and new, with plenty to see on both sides. In the old part of town are the remnants of some Roman walls as well as an old fort built in 1843. This antiquity continues into the medieval district with a handful of important churches, a few museums, historic mansions, and beautiful plazas like the one called Constitutional Square. The Maria Pita square serves as the city's main square, evoking a spectacular impression due to the grandiose façade of the City Hall. There are plenty of dining options just off of the square, as well as a harbor surrounded by modern buildings. The new parts of A Coruna are fairly clean and many of these buildings are known for their gallerias, or enclosed glass balconies. There is also a promenade that runs the length of the city on its shoreline, as well as a tram system which can be a great way to see the sights. Additionally, there are a number of city beaches like the playa del Orzan and playa de Riazor, plus some quieter beaches away from the crowds like San Amaro.
Activities
Beyond sightseeing in the main part of the city, A Coruna is a place for waterfront activity with a number of beaches, a seaside promenade, as well as opportunities for yacht charter and sailing. The two main beaches are called Orzan and Riazor and are situated on the Western side of the peninsula. They are conveniently located; however, if you seek something closer to a resort beach there are many others located within the province but outside of the city. The promenade is called Paseo Maritimo. It starts by La Marina and continues along the shoreline past the Castelo de San Antón, the Tower of Hercules, and the beaches, amongst others, ending just outside the main part of the city.
Food and Dining
With its location surrounded by water, A Coruna embraces the Galician reputation for excellent seafood. The Spanish word for seafood is "marisco," and fresh catches include things like clams, mussels, pod razors, cockles, crabs, barnacles, crayfish, snails, lobster, squid, sea bass, hake, scorpion fish, anchovies, sardines, and tuna. Pulpo a feira is a common seafood dish of octopus prepared with oil, salt, and hot paprika. Then there are empanadas-pies made with a traditional dough, filled with onion, pepper, and some meat, usually tuna, veal, or seafood. Another specialty of Galicia is a type of stew called Caldo Galego, which is simple but satisfying for warding off the damp chill of the region's climate. There are plenty of dining options to be had in the city, mostly your typical Spanish cafeterias as well as a number of hamburger joints and pizzerias.
