Plan your journey from La Coruna Alvedro Airport
La Coruna is a city in the Galicia region of Spain that combines the very best of old and new. From La Coruna Alvedro airport, it’s possible to reach the city centre in just 15 minutes with a rental car.
History buffs have lots to explore in this city. Start off by visiting Castelo de San Anton. This fortress was built in the 16th century as a defence against attacks from the coast. Today the building hosts a fascinating archaeological museum. Looking even further back in time, the Castro de Elvina is the place to see Roman and pre-Roman settlements. You might also want to take in Toree de Hercules, a Roman lighthouse that is allegedly the oldest in the world.
Fans of art might be surprised to know that Pablo Picasso lived in La Coruna for five years. The house he lived in, which is decorated with original ceramic pieces created by the artist himself, is open to the public. For something more recent, head to Fenosa Contemporary Art Museum, which has one of the most comprehensive modern art collections in Spain.
Don’t leave before treating yourself to a lazy beach day at Riazor beach, which lies within the city itself.
