Moderate Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
From La Coruña quayside, follow your guide on a leisurely walk to La Coruña's Old Town, passing by the Mendez Núnéz Gardens and the San Carlos Gardens, located in the remains of the Old Fortress. The British General Sir John Moore is buried here; Moore was killed in the final stages of the Retreat to Corunna during England's failed 1809 Peninsular Campaign against Napoleon.
Your guided walking tour will continue towards the Old City, which boasts well preserved medieval architecture. The sights include the Santo Domingo Convent and the Romanesque Churches of Santa María del Campo, completed in 1302, and Santiago. The Church of Santiago is the oldest church in Coruña and dates to the 11th century. Stroll across Santa Barbara Square, the site of a convent that was converted from an 11th century synagogue. The heart of the Old City is María Pita Square, home to the city's monumental Palacio Municipal (Town Hall).
Enjoy free time to explore the city on your own for independent sightseeing and shopping. Your guide will offer a briefing on the local shops and cafes and provide information on how best to return to the ship.
