La Coruna
Trip Planning & Itineraries
11:37 AM Tuesday, Nov 24
Partly sunny. Cool.
7 day forecast »
A Coruña (Castilian: La Coruña) has only in recent years been rivalled by Vigo as Galicia's biggest city. It remains the region's most outward-looking urban center, with a liberal-republican tradition at variance with the conservative remainder of Galicia. Its port was the gateway through which hundreds of thousands of Galician emigrants left for new lives in the Americas.
The train and bus stations are a couple of kilometres southwest of the city center. La Coruña gets interesting along a fairly narrow isthmus and the large headland to its east and north.
The old town (ciudad vieja) huddles in the southern tip of the headland, while the Torre de Hércules caps its northern extreme. Most hotels, restaurants and bars are in the newer, predominantly 19th-century part of town on the isthmus. Its northwestern side is lined with sandy beaches, while to the southeast lies the port.

Best of Spain: Top Hotels
In addition to these options, find a self catered accommodation in Spain from Owners Direct.
Hotel Las Artes offers an attractive package of accommodation plus admission to the City of Arts & Sciences, or to the Bioparc, Valencia's recently opened 21st-century zoo. On weekends and during school holidays, there's a play area with games and a special kids-only breakfast area. Year-round, parents can take advantage of interconnecting family rooms, a babysitting service and free accommodation for under-12s sharing their parents' room.
Everything about this place exudes harmony, from the soothing tones and soundproof rooms to the friendly staff. The pool terrace is one of Barcelona's best, offering terrific views out over the city towards the Mediterranean and Montjuýc, and ample tables and sun lounges to while away an afternoon. It's a touch of class without the price that usually accompanies such luxury.
It's not often that a swimming pool rates a mention above all other hotel features. In this case the hotel itself is outstanding, but the rooftop swimming pool has some of the best views in Madrid - it's a favorite spot for moviemakers and photographers looking for sweeping Madrid views. Inside, the common areas and rooms maintain many of the original design features from this distinguished 1930s building.
