A Coruña

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.

A stunning church with beautiful architecture. The area around it is quiet - probably because not many people know about it - which creates a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
