The Special Walking Tour of A Coruña
♡ Save
Discover A Coruña in a different way. We'll talk about history and geography, of course! Although, we will also see the city through the eyes of its inhabitants and their customs.
We will of course, talk about María Pita and her heroic role during the siege of the English in 1589. Due to historical circumstances, the English would become allies of the Coruñeses three centuries later.
We will walk through the winding streets of the old city, one of the great unknowns of A Coruña, even for the people of A Coruña. There we will visit its beautiful religious buildings (The Collegiate Church of Santa María, the Convent of Santa Bárbara, the Church of Santiago), and also its military constructions (Jardín de San Carlos, building of the General Captaincy, etc.).
We will marvel at the city's fantastic marine galleries and then try to discover the function they perform and why they are so.
The visit will end on the magnificent beaches of the Atlantic façade of the city, where we will talk about the beauty but also the bravery of the Atlantic Ocean.
Do not hesitate, book your place and discover the city in a different way with a local and fully accredited guide. We are sure that you will not regret it. :)
