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. Our first stop will be the Tower of Hercules, the oldest lighthouse of Roman origin in the world.

After visiting the Tower, we'll enjoy a walking tour of the historical center of A Coruña. We'll explore the central Plaza de María Pita and surrounding monuments such as the Church of San Jorge, the Church of Santiago, the Mirador, the Gardens of San Carlos, and Riazor Beach.

Following approximately 1 hour 30 minutes of free time for lunch, we'll depart for Betanzos. This medieval city was one of the seven provincial capitals of the old Kingdom of Galicia. The old town has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site.

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