La Coruna Province The beautiful province of La Coruna situated in the autonomous community of Galicia has a spectacular coast and countryside. The sweeping coastline of golden beaches, dotted with seaside towns and ports, rich Celtic history and breathtaking natural scenery of the province, all make La Coruna a first class holiday destination for those who seek a unique experience.
The motorway network allows access to the rest of Spain and the port of La Coruna is a popular stopping place for many cruise liners. The region has many ports and fishing villages and is a very attractive place to explore at your leisure by car. Inland is a mix of fairly low mountains giving way to rounded hills of Pine forests and farmland.
Beaches The coast is punctuated by many beautiful beaches coves, bays, and inlets; often close to the cities and towns. In La Coruna you will find some of the best beaches in Spain. Sometimes offering golden sands and sometimes pristine white sands. The sea can be calm and inviting or angry and threatening. Tourism La Coruna leads the field in Galicia for tourist infrastructure with many guides written in a variety of languages and tourist offices in all the important locations.
The region also has it's own language, known as Galego. Having said that, Galicians have no separatist intentions, they consider themselves very much Spanish. The festivals of the region are the best way to discover the marvellous inventiveness of the Galician people, in the costumes, music, food and folklore. Santiago de Compostela The rich history and spiritual importance of Santiago de Compostela, the capital city of Galicia, makes this an important destination for anyone visiting the region, and indeed for anyone who wishes to experience one of the few spiritual capitals of Europe.
The city has World Heritage status and boasts a wealth of monuments and cultural attractions. Its medieval quarter is vast and is home to the magnificent cathedral, that has made Santiago de Compostela, the third most important place in Christendom. Every year thousands make a pilgrimage to the city and the atmosphere all-year round is intense. A Coruna City Coruna City, or A Coruna City, as it is often referred to in English, is full of buildings and monuments of architectural interest; many styles can be found here from Roman, to baroque, to renaissance and neo-classical.
The old medieval district of Coruna City is a good place to seek out if you are interested in the history of the city, and you will find Roman ruins, churches, and museums. So if you only have time for one historical city visit, then make sure you choose Santiago.
The Tower of Hercules, situated on a headland just outside of the city, is in fact a lighthouse dating back in parts over years. Both have strong fishing heritages and are popular tourist destinations. The seaside towns of Porto do Son and Boiro are both popular destinations for Spanish tourists and also have some interesting cultural attractions to offer. Cuisine The uniqueness of the Galician culture is demonstrated in the local gastronomy: you will not find so much rice or pasta in Galicia as you do elsewhere.
Potatoes tend to be the accompaniment of choice for fish and meat dishes. Shellfish is very popular in Galicia and seafood is considered the staple diet. Galicia harvests more fruits of the sea than anywhere else in Europe; the sand beds of the coastline, and the many fishing ports, make this possible.
The astonishing variety of fish species and crustaceans are prepared and cooked in a myriad of dishes depending on the region within Galicia.
With the main cities being so close to the ports, freshness is always assured. Climate The Galician climate is generally quite temperate; in the winter it is not uncommon for strong winds to blow off the sea.
Throughout the year there is quite a bit of rain. Spring and summers are warm. There are also delicious fish dishes such as monkfish caldeirada , hake a la gallega with onion, garlic and carrot or grilled sole.
Pies are found both on the coast, with fish or seafood fillings, and inland, with meat. And for dessert, the famous Santiago cake with almonds, sugar and flour. And the Parador of Ferrol is one of the best places to stay in this seaside town.
