A Coruña is called the “Glass City” due to its unique architectural style of constructing “galerĂas” (enclosed glass balconies) onto the side of its buildings.
This city is located in Galicia, a northwest area in Spain where the climate is rainy and windy which allows for a spectacular green nature. This climate and the roughness of its tides make them have very high-quality fishing, and that’s why Galicia is also highly valued for its gastronomy, specifically for seafood.
In this full-day tour of the city, you will be surprised by the many fascinating places that this city offers like the famous Hercules tower, the pleasant and long promenade that boarded the entire city with amazing views of the port and beaches, will go up to the Mount San Pedro (the best viewpoint of the city) and as a we will visit its old town where you will have the chance of walking its charming alleys full of so much history and emblematic buildings and monuments
