Cheap flights from Boston to A Coruña from £173

To get the most fantastic view of Coruña including Paseo Maritimi, Riazor, Faro de Hércules, Punta Herminia, old city and suburbs, go straight to La Coruña in Monte de San Pedro. This was a military fort that has now been turned into a beautiful park. While walking, you’ll see a lot of historic information posted everywhere. Also, you will be impressed by the remnants of the coastal defences, especially two enormous guns. A funicular cable car will take you there from street level. The ticket costs around 3 euro each way. You can also arrive by taxi or by bus that stops within a short walking distance.

If you love surfing, choose Praia Matadeiro. The water there is flat in the summer but can reach breathtaking heights in winter. A few surf shops along the beach can meet your gear needs and also provide lessons and rentals as well (VAZVA – Rúa Real, 69; Raz – Rúa Pondal, 2; ¡Hola! Ola – Rúa Alfredo Vincenti, 32).

Cafe Valentin serves dishes from different countries, salads, bagels, gourmet sandwiches, and desserts and offers a good selection of wines and cocktails. What makes it different is the cosy covered terrace which is considered one of the best in Spain. You can find it at the following address — Rúa San Agustín 30.
