The Town

Discover A Coruña

A Coruña, a vibrant port city bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, presents itself as an intriguing alternative to start the English Way. Its most iconic symbol, the Tower of Hercules, the Roman lighthouse still in operation and the oldest functioning lighthouse in the world and UNESCO World Heritage Site, welcomes pilgrims with its ancient light. Starting the pilgrimage here offers an unparalleled urban and maritime experience. The pilgrim can enjoy one of Europe's longest coastal walks, relax on its famous urban beaches of Riazor and Orzán, and explore a historic quarter full of life around María Pita Square. Although the route from A Coruña is 75 km long and does not alone fulfill the minimum to obtain the Compostela (unless completed with other sections), its historical value and beauty make it a very popular option. The city offers excellent service infrastructure and exquisite seafood-based cuisine. It's a perfect starting point for those who want to combine the energy of a great Galician city with the spirituality of the Way of St. James.
