A Coruña and Betanzos Trip

At 9:30 am, we'll depart from the Plaza de Galicia square in Santiago de Compostela. After a 60 minute journey, we'll arrive in the city of A Coruña. We'll start by visiting the famous Tower of Hercules, the oldest lighthouse of Roman origin in the world.

After our visit to the Tower of Hercules, we'll enjoy a walking tour of the historical center of A Coruña. We'll discover the monuments and streets surrounding the central Plaza de María Pita: the Church of San Jorge, the Church of Santiago, the Mirador, the Gardens of San Carlos, and Riazor Beach.

After approximately 1 hour 30 minutes free time for lunch, we'll leave A Coruña and head towards Betanzos. This medieval city was one of the seven provincial capitals of the old Kingdom of Galicia. The old town has been officially declared a Historic-Artistic Site.

During the guided tour of Betanzos, we'll visit the church of Santa María del Azogue, the church of Santiago, and the temple dedicated to San Francisco. We will stop at each monument to appreciate its artistic and patrimonial value and taste the delicious local omelette that has earned a national prize.
