A Coruña is such a hidden gem on the coast; it feels so different from the rest of Spain. It’s a city that’s completely defined by the ocean. One of my favorite things to do is just walk around the city.

The food here is simple but incredibly high-quality. I loved that the vibe is exactly halfway between a casual bar and a full restaurant; you feel just as comfortable stopping in for a quick drink as you do for a long dinner.

Not usually a club person, but I actually had a great time here! The music was good. The energy was high, and the drinks were fairly priced.
