LA CORUNA
Overview - Isolated in the rugged, celtic north-west corner of Spain known as Galicia, La Coruna is an attractive, laid-back port city that feels miles from anywhere. The focus of the beachfront promenade gives the impression La Coruna has turned its back on the rest of the country to gaze out at the Atlantic. Its football club, Deportivo La Coruna, has done more than anything since the Spanish Armada to put La Coruna on the map in recent years with some great runs in Europe of its own. Airports & Transfers - La Coruna Airport - five miles south of the centre, linked by buses every 30mins taking 25mins journey time. Tickets are 1.15Euro. Taxi's 15Euros. Nightlife - With the Riazor beach on one side and the port on the other, the 'Zona de los Vinos' is an area packed with buzzing bars and tapas joints around Calles de La Estrella, Los Olmos, Barrera and Galera. Shopping - The four main shopping districts in La Coruna are Cuatro Caminos, Obelisco, Calle Barcelona and the Picasso District.
