Itinerary
10:00
Begin your walking tour with a stroll from the port into the beautiful, picturesque Maria Pita Square, one of the town’s main city squares. As you get closer to the city hall in the square, it gives you a sense of walking in the Royal Court. After a short stop here for some photos, we will then move onto the next stop of the tour, the Old Town.
In remembrance of Elisa and Marcela’s marriage, the first 12th-century church is situated in the Saint Carlos Gardens. As you amble through the beautiful gardens, you will witness the magnificent views of the church. Your guide will also mention the stories about the English way to Santiago de Compostela that includes the city en EL Camino.
Leaving the Old Town, you will now move onto the La Marina promenade which is towards the Royal Nautical Club; there you will have the chance to see the glass galleries, which give the name “Crystal City” to La Coruna.
Continuing with the walking tour, you will now reach the modern area of the town, the Calle Real (Royal Street), a cobblestoned narrow street as you make your way towards the final point of the tour, the Orzand and Riazor Beaches.
You will now return to the port with your English-speaking guide in plenty of time for your cruise ship’s departure.
