My family lives in A Coruña, and I love it there. One thing, A Coruña is the Galician name and La Coruña is Spanish. If you’re ever back in A Coruña you must visit Santiago de Compostela and go hiking in some of the most beautiful places. Don’t miss visiting La playa de Mera and Bastiagueiro in the Oleiros suburb of A Coruña….its gorgeous there. The aquarium next to Torre de Hercules is well worth a visit, as well as the Casa de Picasso, El Domus museum and the Museum of Art—so worth it. The Rosalia Theatre in the old town has wonderful performances, and the Riazor Stadium for soccer. Make sure you try visiting the many light houses on the coast and finish at Finisterre…an absolutely gorgeous place. There’s so much……❤️

Thank you for this. This is where my grandmother and her family were from and I’ve always wanted to visit.

First of all, thank you for visiting. A Coruña has a rich history. For example, we have three cemeteries dedicated to those who tried to invade us. However, it's not the most touristy place in the world, and we're grateful because, thanks to this, it's a great place to live.

Regarding Cervecería La Estrella, the great advantage is that the beer is freshly brewed that same day at the brewery, so if you like beer, you can experience one of the most expertly rated beers, Estrella Galicia, fresher than in any bar in the world.

Going there with a cruise, I love to discover spot on local places to visit in a day, where and what to have like tapas, drinks and desserts. Any suggestions please?

In Spain the form "La Coruña" is an attempt to translate the article to castillian.
The article "La" in castilian is "A" in gallego, so the confusion comes from there.
As you said the correct form is "A Coruña" because it´s the way the city it´s called in Gallego.
Remember that Spain has 4 official languages.

[chacmool]

Hmmm, no. "A Coruña" is the galician language name as "A" is the feminine indefinite article. "La Coruña" is the Spanish language name as "la" is the feminine indefinite article in that language.

Vigo is nice but the whole coast of Vigo is just a big dump with industry and rusty infrastructure. While in A Coruña the industrial is kept in one place remote from the beaches.

A Coruña is the ORIGINAL galician name. ❤

[mercedesvillar]

My boy Manny is from Galicia. He said he never would move back to Spain

[Canela]

Im from Coruña and im glad that you highlighted the not so outstanding parts as well, the people from here may say that there is no city like a coruña but of course we do not dare to say some of the ugly parts of the city that you mentioned. Nevertheless, thanks for the great video!!

[unclerubo]

Okay, I need to comment just before the first minute of this video is through.
"A" in Galician is an article, the equivalent for Spanish "La".
Having said that, let me proceed to the rest of the video.

A Coruña te lo dice un gallego, saludos

Many Mexicans from Jalisco, Guanajuato, and Zacatecas have ancestry from Galicia. I mean, Jalisco was once’s named Nueva Galicia.

Mob there is apparently the worst tourist stalkers i have seen so far while travelling. They haye people standing outside the train station making a living hell for you when you are arrive. Thanks alot! I did not deserve that greeting!

"Vigo doesn't even come close to A Coruña, which is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vigo is a city where everything is uphill and downhill, and the only decent thing it has is its port. In contrast, A Coruña is pure beauty!"

la estación de tren de coruña es histórica, la de vigo es actual, por favor, comparar eso no tiene sentido. los exteriores de ambas estaciones no tienen nada de bonito, ni una ni otra. y como ciudad es mucho más bonita coruña, vigo es horrible de principio a fin.

[carolusdel]

lots of rain and wind, It is the city with the worst climate of Spain
