Discover A Coruña with Gaiarooms

A Roman lighthouse that's been lighting up the Atlantic for almost two thousand years. A woman with a spear who stopped an empire's fleet in its tracks. A boy who started painting here and grew up to become Picasso. In this episode we travel across A Coruña from end to end: the Tower of Hercules and its founding legend, the glazed balconies that give the city its loveliest nickname, the octopus and goose barnacles that define its food scene, and the stories of pirates, British generals, and Galician witches that still linger in its streets. You'll also get practical tips on getting around, saving time, and skipping the tourist traps, plus the corners only locals know about. An episode for anyone who wants to understand a city before setting foot in it, or for anyone who already knows it and wants to see it with fresh eyes. In A Coruña you can stay with Gaiarooms in properties located in the historic center, close to the city's main points of interest. Book at gaiarooms.com.
