On our last day in A Coruña, we decided to head the opposite way from the Torre de Hércules and go to the Monte San Pedro. Since we walked from the town we came across the Elevator panorámico and it was a fabulous way to get up to the park. Luckily, the weather was perfect - sunny, reasonably gentle breeze, perfect temps; I’m not sure I would want to be up there in nasty or wet conditions. The park itself is just gorgeous - wonderful green fields with incredible views of the city and then out to the sea, including several (very) large gun emplacements from WW II. A word of caution: there is a restaurant on top but it is a Michelin-starred establishment, much, much heavier and much more formal than we were after. In other words, grab a couple of boccadillos ahead of time and enjoy the incredible views, flowering trees, and lovely grounds.

We’ve been to this square many times and it has a real presence. Enjoy a drink or some food in the bars that are positioned on the square and take in the atmosphere of a remarkable setting.

This is the reason why La Coruña is known as "La ciudad de cristal". It is worth taking a leisurely stroll down this avenue.

The church of Santiago, near the Praza do Xeneral Azcárraga (Also worth the visit). Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, it is probably the oldest church in A Coruña and the beginning of English Way to Santiago.

The Iglesia de San Jorge (Igrexa de San Xurxo in Galego) is nice and old church next to the Maria Pita square. The church is only open on religious service time.
