You’d be forgiven if you’d never given much thought to the port city of A Coruña – it’s often overlooked by pilgrims making progress to nearby Santiago de Compostela. But this picturesque perch on the wild Atlantic coast of Galicia may be Spain’s best-kept secret; there’s a bracing seaside promenade so you can walk, run or cycle past ancient lighthouses and mediaeval forts, sandy urban beaches popular with surfers and a tapas tradition to rival Barcelona’s.
The weather is temperate year-round, but A Coruña’s seafront is sparkliest in summertime, between June and September. Even then, be prepared for moody weather – Galicia is known as the rainy region.
