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.

Head out in your Avis rental car and begin your journey around the island of Mallorca. Enjoy all the sights along the way.

Lugo

It’s possible to reach the historic city of Lugo in under an hour with a rental car from the airport. The main attraction here is the Roman walls, which extend for 2km. These are some of the best preserved Roman ruins in all of Europe. Located inside their borders is a stunning Roman-gothic cathedral that dates back to the 12th century. Rua Nova is renowned for its tapas restaurants. Opt for some seafood plates such as sardines, which the Galician region is famous for.

Santiago de Compostela

Around an hour from La Coruna Alvedro Airport is the historically significant city of Santiago de Compostela. This is where St. James, one of the apostles of Christ, is believed to be buried. The central cathedral has been created with a mix of styles, but its Baroque entrance makes a striking first impression. It’s also possible to visit the tomb of St. James here.
