Famous landmark
Torre de Hércules — UNESCO Roman lighthouse
A Coruña is at the top of Galicia — the Roman lighthouse (Torre de Hércules) still works, the seafront is one of the longest in Europe, and the city has a hardworking, lived-in feel. From Porto it is a four-hour drive, and from Santiago about an hour. This is a long-distance route. We do it regularly, but always quote upfront — the price depends on vehicle, season and whether you want a single one-way leg or a multi-stop Galicia loop.
What we run here
Almost everything we do to A Coruña is long-distance and tailor-made. Frequent requests: one-way comfort transfers from Porto for guests on a Galician road trip; cruise-day pickups at A Coruña port for a half-day in Santiago; and full Galicia loops over several days combining A Coruña, Santiago and Vigo with one driver throughout.
Worth seeing
Walk the Paseo Marítimo (one of the longest seaside promenades in Europe), visit the Torre de Hércules at the northern tip, and have lunch in the old town near Praza de María Pita.
