The A Coruña City Guides answer the questions every visitor brings: where Coruñeses order their octopus and tortilla, which museums cost nothing, when to climb the Tower of Hercules and which beaches across the bay are calmer than Orzán. Each guide is a short, opinionated list that gives you the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
A Pulpeira de Melide
Praza de España 16, Ciudad Vieja
Octopus prepared the way they do it in Melide, the inland town famous for it: simmered in copper pots, snipped onto wooden boards and dressed with salt, paprika and olive oil, with bread on the side. From the food guide.
Monte de San Pedro
Western headland, above the promenade
Old coastal guns, a hedge maze and lawns on a former battery, with the widest view over the city, the lighthouse and the open ocean. On a windy day, shelter in the free glass dome at the top. From the things to do guide.
Playa Mera
Mera, Oleiros, about 35 min by suburban bus
A sheltered bay beach that many locals rate above the city ones, with clear water, soft sand and a walk along the shore. Crowded at the height of summer, nearly deserted the rest of the year. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in A Coruña
Day one: start at the Tower of Hercules and its sculpture park, walk into the old town, then eat your way along Rúa Galera and Rúa Estrella with the food and nightlife guides. Day two: climb Monte de San Pedro for the view, swim at Riazor or ride the bus to the calmer beaches of Oleiros, or take the train to Santiago or Betanzos. Rainy or slow day: MUNCYT, the Aquarium and Domus from the family guide, the free Fine Arts Museum, and churros at Bonilla a la Vista from the budget guide.
