BestPrivateTours.com - La Coruna Walking Tour

OVERVIEW

La Coruna is one of Galicia's few genuinely prosperous cities and a major sea port, historically famous to have been the scene of battles and repelled invasions against the British and French and its coast has several sea facing castles that testify to these events.

Today la Coruna is a large and modern city, but it still retains a link with the past in the form of its old town and the impressive area by the harbour that was once famous for the fishermen houses and now has many large glass fronted buildings. As a result it is known as the Crystal City.
