City in Spain
Also known as La Coruña, A Coruña
3 things to see
A Coruna runs cheap because the best of it is the coast, and the coast is free. The whole Paseo Maritimo, roughly 13 kilometres of it, is a walk that costs nothing from end to end, and the blue-flag city beaches of Riazor and Orzan sit right at the centre, no entry fee, good for a swim or a surf-watch. Wandering the old town and the harbourfront galerias, the glassed-in balconies that earned the “city of glass” nickname, is purely free, as is hiking up Monte de San Pedro for the best free panorama in town. The Tower of Hercules, the only working Roman lighthouse and a UNESCO site, charges just a few euros, and entry is free one day a week, so time your climb and it costs nothing. Come in the May or September shoulder season for mild Atlantic weather and thinner crowds, and chain it with Santiago de Compostela an hour down the coast, the end point of the Camino de Santiago, for two budget stops in one trip across Spain.
What to see
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
At 13 kilometers, this is one of the longest seaside promenades in Europe, wrapping around the entire peninsula. Free, scenic, and connected to every major landmark in the city, it is the single best way to understand A Coruna's relationship with the Atlantic.
A city beach with free access right in the heart of A Coruna, backed by a promenade and within walking distance of the old town. The Atlantic surf and wide sand make it a proper beach despite its urban setting.
The only Roman lighthouse still functioning in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage site standing on a headland above the Atlantic. The surrounding park and coastal walk are free, and the tower's 2,000-year operational history is unmatched anywhere.
