La Coruna
If you think you know Spain, it might be time to think again. La Coruna is a busy port town located in Galicia, north-west Spain a region rather like the south west of England in that it's very green with a fabulous coast line.
Welcome to the ‘green heart’ of SpainCruise from Southampton to La Coruna and discover that there's much more to Spain and Spanish cruises than beaches on the famous Costas! In La Coruna you'll find a welcome break from these other, better-known destinations. Here, in verdent Galicia, you'll see another side of Spain and discover a landscape that will remind you more of Cornwall or Wales than the more arid parts of the Iberian Peninsular. La Coruna has a wide range of good museums and attractions, ideal for children and adults of all ages; take your pick from the Picasso Museum, the interactive House of Humankind (the first of its kind dedicated to the human being), MACUF, the contemporary art museum, the Fine Arts museum or the aquarium.
