A Coruna (or La Coruna) is most famous as the gateway to Santiago de Compostella , a significant christian pilgrimage site.  We had previously visited there so took the opportunity to walk around the town itself and have lunch.  We walked a total of about 11Km, stopping for coffee at a small cafe and then lunch in the old part of town.

The most picturesque parts were the harbour and the centre plaza in the old part of town.

While we were walking around, it threatened to rain several times and we did catch a few drops but not enough to get wet or be of concern.

There was a street off the plaza that was full of little restaurants and we had lunch at one of them.

We deliberated over the menu for a while, attempting to translate from Spanish and then the owner gave us a menu in English which was much easier to use!  We ended up with a seafood platter and a nice bottle of Albarino wine, both of which were delicious.
