The
tourist
office is
located at
Darsena de
la Marina
(Tel 981
221 822)
and should
be your
first stop
for
information
about the
city. You
will find
the staff
there very
helpful
and
speaking a
little
English.
The old
town is
the place
to be to
see
several
historic
churches
and
mansions.
Acoruña is
a popular
holiday
resort and
there are
2km of
white,
sandy
beaches
here to be
enjoyed.
In July
and August
it can
become
very
crowded.
Riazor Beach,
right in
the town
is a wide
beach but
the best
has to be
Santa
Cristina,
about 5km
out of
town. You
can take a
bus but if
you fancy
something
different,
take the
steamer
that runs
round the
bay.
Sample the
local
culture
and
ambience
at one of
the
markets
where you
will see a
wide
selection
of the
local
produce as
well as
the
variety of
seafood
caught on
local
shores.
There are
ample bars
and
restaurants
here to
please
everyone
and plenty
of
opportunities
to soak in
the sun
while you
enjoy a
glass of
wine and a
tapa. Many
of the
places you
may find
for an
evening
drink
could
easily be
mistaken
for a
tavern
from the
Civil War
era, with
decor to
match. |
