How poetic, A Coruña. In this province you will be able to set foot on the westernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula, putting your foot on one of the most rugged landscapes: Cape Touriñán, on the Costa da Morte. Would you like to witness the last sunset in continental Europe? This phenomenon is experienced in this cape two months of the year: between the end of March and the end of April, and from mid-August to September. Hunting for sunsets, bidding farewell to the last sun of the continent... Can anyone do better? The coast of A Coruña keeps on giving more! You will realise it as you travel from seaside village to seaside village, marvelling at the lighthouses, the wild beaches, the dunes, the cliffs... We recommend starting in the south, by the Corrubedo dunes, continuing to Finisterre, passing through Touriñán to Muxía and continuing to Camariñas. You will reach A Coruña, a beautiful city with the character of María Pita, heroine in the fight against the English invasion at the end of the 16th century. A lively cultural life and an essential gastronomic stop. Say goodbye to the city from the imposing Tower of Hercules and head for Ferrol, where you can sample its excellent gastronomy, understand its industrial and military past, and embrace its cultural and youthful present. You will see it in neighbourhoods such as Canido, where an artistic revolution is taking place around the figure and depiction of Las Meninas. As you can hear. Ferrol is exciting. Here you can relax at the Sercotel Odeón Spa Hotel and abandon yourself to the pleasure of its thermal water circuit.

We eat and drink A Coruña
They say that in Galicia there is a feast for every mollusc, for every product, for every part of the pig. Perhaps they are right.
In A Coruña you can experience the octopus festival in Mugardos, the cheese festival in Arzúa, the omelette festival in Betanzos (only suitable for lovers of barely cooked omelettes), the peppers festival in Herbón, the barnacle festival in Corme or the xoubas festival in Rianxo. Ready to jump from celebration to celebration, from bite to bite?
We know what you're thinking: such a tribute deserves to be washed down with fine wines. They come from all over A Coruña, from the white grapes: albariño, loureira, treixadura, modelo... to the reds of encía and garnacha tintorera.
Don't forget the endless number of liqueurs that run through the veins of the people of A Coruña, with special mention of those shots of coffee liqueur, cream of orujo or orujo (neat) that you will be offered as a digestive at the end of each banquet. Enjoy, traveller!
The province continues to give more: it is impossible not to mention the Camino de Santiago and that magical moment when, from the heights of Mount Gozo, the cathedral is glimpsed, so magnificent, so absolutely beautiful.
In Santiago de Compostela, stroll through its arcades, soak up the smell of wet stone in the rain, marvel at the exterior and interior of the cathedral and hop from square to square. Take note, these are three of the legendary ones: Obradoiro, Quintana and Platerías.
And beyond? Do you want to live in a fairytale? Enter the Fragas do Eume Natural Park, an Atlantic forest of some 9,000 hectares populated by ferns, mosses, lichens, dense poplars, oaks and ash trees.
A shady, deep green, water-filled environment. Children will enjoy walking along the hanging bridges of the park and imagining stories of other times when visiting the monastery of San Xoán de Caaveiro or the monastery of Santa María de Monfero. Pure magic.
