Coruna - my kind of town, fabulous bays, beaches, boats and fishing. We enjoyed a 35 minute, 160kmh train ride on an ultra-modern train to get here from Santiago. The train even had on-board vending machines.
Coruna is a very modern city with ancient roots. It has lovely little trams servicing the 13.5km pedestrian promenade along the coastline. There are a number of wide sandy beaches along the promenade, right next to the city streets, no doubt extremely popular at the height of summer.
We caught a tram round to El Torre de Hercules, a lighthouse built by the Romans and still working. Climbing the 234 narrow steps to the top was tough and reminded us of some hills we have climbed, but provided a panoramic view of the city, the harbor and the Atlantic ocean.
Hi Gen and John
ReplyDeleteLooks they even have tinnies in Coruna. Any Kingfish? Weather is still awful here- cold and windy with big seas. Some rain expected. O'Farrel has backed down and feed in rate is back to 60 cents/KWHr(was 40). Still working-not much else to do.
