Journey to the city of La Coruna and set off on a guided walking tour of the Old Town. You'll pass the shaded Plaza de Azcarraga, with its lovely stone fountain and graceful buildings, and the beautiful Town Hall in Maria Pita Square. View the unique glass-enclosed balconies of the Avenida de la Marina, built to protect against strong winds. Stroll through the peaceful San Carlos Gardens and see the tomb of Sir John Moore.
Catch a glimpse of Europe's oldest working lighthouse, the Tower of Hercules, built initially by the Romans and rebuilt in the 18th century.
Along the way, stop in a local bar to sample a regional favorite -- hot churros and chocolate. Then, visit the local market. With different floors and many small stalls offering a variety of local products, from meat and seafood to produce and baked goods, the market is the heartbeat of the city.
At a local tapas bar, try a variety of traditional Spanish tapas paired with local wines -- what a great foodie snapshot of Santiago!
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes and light clothes. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, and steps. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. The Market is visited only on morning departures. Tour does not operate on Sundays or Mondays.
