July 10, 2021 Nicolette Lion

A Coruña (Galician: [a koˈɾuɲa], Spanish: La Coruña [la koˈɾuɲa], English: Corunna, archaically The Groyne) is a city and municipality of Galicia, Spain. It is the second most populated city in the autonomous community and seventeenth overall in the country. The city is the provincial capital of the province of the same name, having also served as political capital of the Kingdom of Galicia from the 16th to the 19th centuries, and as a regional administrative centre between 1833 and 1982, before being replaced by Santiago de Compostela.

Amongst an entertaining day, highlight for us was Combarro and linked estuary cruise. Beautiful scenery, watching dolphins, lunch of very fresh oysters and mussels. Saw a lot. Understand how hard it must be for the guide though. Spanish and English in same group. Two explanations, twice the time. Or more for one group less the other. That said, a fun day

As a mother with two children, this was not it. Boring, exhausting for my smallest child and none of us learned anything from here. Stay away!

The guide was SO informative and interesting. You get to see the whole church, skip the long line and learn a ton of history about the Sagrada Familia. Worth every penny.

It was a really nice experience. The guide was great, he of course knew the history of the city, on top of that he was really friendly and funny. We booked our tour one hour before the start time and there were no challenges, this is also a plus.

We had a brilliant time on the tour to Covadonga Lakes. The day was full and well worth the money. Our guide spoke good English and was very informative and friendly. We saw many places and stopped at lovely cafes for coffee breaks. Truly recommend! ????

10. Camino de Santiago: Finisterre Route 6 days and 5 nights

Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Spain Turismoi.es

The adventure does not have to end in Santiago! It can be the beginning of a new path to the sea if we start the Camino de Finisterre. This Way is much more than a simple prolongation of the Way. It comes from the Celtic and Roman tradition, at a time when there was a popular belief that Finisterre was the End of the Earth (hence its name). It is a route that is very well marked. You can ask for your diploma when you arrive in Finisterre. This diploma is known as "Finisterrana", and if you continue to Muxía "Muxiana".

Inclusions: 5 nights accommodation in hotels and boarding houses: Includes 5 * hostel in Santiago, Half Board: Breakfast and dinner, except in Santiago, Transfer of suitcases between stage and stage, Telephone assistance 24 hours, Credential of the Pilgrim, Route notes

Exclusions: Does not include services not expressly mentioned in the previous section

Wonderful experience if you've got a 3+ day trip planned to Catalonia. You'll meet up and take a 45-ish minute bus ride to up to Montserrat and go on a tour of the monastery and have a chance to buy some premium products (olive oils, liqueurs, etc.). You'll get some free time to explore on your own and then ride the train down the mountain to a local ranch where you'll get paired up with your horse. It was my first time riding a horse in about 15-20 years, but they made it as easy as possible. The horse tour through the country side lasts somewhere between 1-2 hours and the views are breathtaking.
