A Coruña, a city with experiences for everyone
9 March, 2022A Coruña is a city to celebrate. Here, you can enjoy all kinds of experiences to enjoy, relax, eat, organise events, go shopping or party.
Located in the top left corner of the map of the Iberian Peninsula, A Coruña is a small city defined by many as a "boutique city" for all that it entails and all that is concentrated in it. Every week you will find different events and opportunities to complete your trip and make your experience, or that of the people you want to come with, an excellent one.
Gastronomy
A Coruña is a city to eat and enjoy eating. Here you can find Michelin-starred restaurants or outstanding haute cuisine restaurants where you can experience and taste hitherto unknown flavours with fresh produce from our Atlantic Ocean, an ocean that is in our DNA and in all our activities.
Combining tradition with innovation, and exploiting the flavours of the Atlantic to the maximum, A Coruña is the ideal city for lovers of good food. You can find restaurants and bars for all tastes and styles, and always combined with the best wines and beers.
And beer is another of the great secrets of A Coruña, as the city is lucky enough to be home to the brewery of the most successful beer in Spain, which is beginning to conquer Europe. Estrella Galicia, with all its variants such as 1906 or Red Vintage, has been sweeping national and international competitions for years and is starting to be heard in the majority of bars and pubs all over the world.
In A Coruña you can visit this brewery as part of the Estrella Galicia World experience, the first museum dedicated to beer in Spain, where you can learn, touch and taste how this beer is made, the history of the brand and, last but not least, you can learn how to taste and sample its different beers combined with other Galician products that you will love.
A city for events
With these ingredients, it is clear that A Coruña is an ideal city for organising all kinds of events. This small city has all kinds of venues. Conventional or singular. From modern hotel rooms or cultural centres, to the auditorium of the Palexco (Convention Centre). From the top of a thousand-year-old lighthouse or surrounded by marine species in the Aquarium.
It also has services prepared for all kinds of occasions. Conference organisers, travel agents, hoteliers, restaurateurs, technicians, and a long list of other professionals with a single objective: to ensure the best results.
But it is also a city designed so that all those invited to congresses, meetings or events feel comfortable and can work without neglecting any detail. Strolling along the beach, enjoying wine and seafood, shopping and an exciting nightlife, is the proposed work plan. In addition, all this can be combined with sightseeing and culture, for example to visit the oldest working lighthouse in the world, which has illuminated A Coruña for almost 2,000 years: the Tower of Hercules. Built by the Romans, since 2009 it has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
A Coruña is the financial centre of Galicia and a national and international reference point, a city that is home to important companies and medical and university institutions.
Shopping
Because A Coruña is precisely home of the most important fashion company in the world. Inditex has its headquarters in Arteixo, 10 minutes from the city centre, which, together with the growing success of this company, has transformed A Coruña in recent years, making this small city the capital of Galician fashion and a point of reference throughout Spain and Europe.
In the city you will find the most important shops of the whole conglomerate of companies that this company has. In Juan Flórez street you will find the first Zara in history and around the Plaza de Lugo you will find the most innovative shops of all its brands: Zara, Zara Home, Stradivarius, Bershka, Pull and Bear, Massimo Dutti, etc.
Remember to leave some space in your suitcase to carry all the shopping you do in this city, where Zara stands out, but where you will also find the fashion of many renowned designers and artisans.
Culture
Finally, in A Coruña you will find a wide range of cultural and sporting activities. Undoubtedly, Deportivo de A Coruña comes to mind, the team that amazed and surprised the whole of Europe at the beginning of the 2000s. But this city is also a great cultural centre where you will find all kinds of concerts and exhibitions that will leave you open-mouthed.
Did you know that Pablo Picasso's artistic life began in A Coruña? It was in this city that he took his first steps as a painter and where he was inspired to become the most remembered artist of all time. The house where he lived with his family is still preserved here and can be visited.
In addition, here you will find different museums for all tastes, from several scientific museums, including the magical Aquarium Finisterrae that shows the maritime environment of this corner of the Atlantic, to several historical house museums or various foundations that house exhibitions for all tastes.
Not forgetting that A Coruña is home to the Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia, an orchestra that enjoys great prestige in the world of classical music.
In short, A Coruña is a city in which to enjoy and which is made for all kinds of celebrations, people and events.
