Cheap flights from Chicago to A Coruña from £257

One of the best places to try tapas is the restaurant La Bombilla located 0.9 miles from the Tower of Hercules (Torre de Hercules). It’s very small and cosy. The venue serves typical Galician tapas such as croquetas, tortillas, empanadillas, and Galician chorizo. The tapas are very cheap (around 1,90 euro), and because the place is so small, most people eat on the street. The bar is open from 11:00 to 00:00 every day.

Spanish tortilla is a potato omelette you may be tempted to order for breakfast. However, while doing so, you will face some strange looks from Spaniards. The tortilla is considered an afternoon snack accompanied by beer rather than breakfast food.

If you are into art, you might want to visit the small Picasso museum, also a house where he lived for a few years with his father. There you will find examples of the work of the 13-year-old (note that the museum has limited original art holdings — there are mostly reproductions) and learn about the life of the boy and his family. It’s completely free to visit and open 10:30 to 14:00 and 17:30 to 20:00 Tuesday to Sunday. To make the tour more interesting, we recommend taking an audio guide.
