8. Castle de San Anton (10:17)
The San Antón castle is a beautiful island fortress located at the entrance of the port. This castle was a means of defense which the people of Coruna heavily relied on. Throughout its history, the Castle has been a fortress, a governor's residence and a prison. Today it accommodates the archeological and history museum as well as a remarkable collection of silverware.

A beautiful Conch like statue located in Punta Hermida park. Walking distance from the Tower of Hercules, this Conch statue is designed to make the Atlantic wind blow through the horn. Take a romantic stroll at the park, enjoy the Atlantic breeze, and take some cool photos.

11. Iglesia de San Jorge (13:57)
San Jorge Church is a sinister looking old church located in Plaza Marqués de San Martín . The cruceiro in the courtyard in front of the church is carved in a medieval style and is surrounded by 4 smaller pillars. Great location to take photos, especially at night.

12. Orzan Beach and Monte de San Pedro (14:57)
I highly recommend to take a hike or enjoy a leisurely walk on the beautiful sea-side promenades of La Coruna. A nice 8km hike starts with Caracola Monch Amigo conch statue. Walk through Hermida Park, Orzan Beach, Praia do Matadoiro (which translates to "Slaughterhouse beach”), Explanada de Las Esclavas, the giant Obelisco Millenium statue, "The octopus" statue, and my favorite, “Window to the Atlantic” (goo.gl/maps/1ASDuzwiZnytRqCA9).
If you still have time and you are not fatigue, you can visit the San Pedro Mountain Park.
13. Santiago de Compostela (17:10)
Located one hour drive from La Coruna, Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia and the final destination of the 1000km+ hike of the well-knows Camino de Santiago trail.

14. Hot Springs in Ourense/Orense (19:36)
Located on a volcano an hour away from La Coruna, Ourense is known for its hot springs. Great to relax. The one I visited is 30 minutes from the city.

Thank you very much for this video about my city, this is wonderful with all the drone images, so beautiful, you make my city look certainly really beautiful... it is beautiful but you make it even more special. When my father (Antonio) was young he would have loved to be able to take such incredible shots from the air around Hercules Tower, he loved that monument so much! I miss some closer shots of the most famous part of Coruña, you show it briefly when you show la Dársena (you call it the port, but it is not the port) but those little glass windows in those white buildings are what we consider the most symbolic view of our city, we call them "Las Galerías": You certainly made a great work and a great trip here in our land, you are very welcome to come again and enjoy this place, it was called "The city where no one is a foreigner"

Hey I'm from Rome, I love Coruña and I liked your video and drone images. I was there at least 8 times. Good quality and nice drone images...BUT...Hey!! Nobody took you to the "ciudad vieja" ( the REAL old city ), the medieval district close to Maria pita square!! I was expecting for all video that you show that part of the city. That is really elegant and old. With churches and squares that made the history of the city!! What a pity. Anyway when u will be back there don't miss a visit there pls! And complete your wonderful video. So it will be perfect !! Ciao !!

I did visit the old city. Check out the timestamp in the description (item number 5 in the video, time stamp 07:07). Is that not the old city? or you mean something else? would like to know. Also, thank you for all the kind words. If you like my work it would be helpful if you can share on social networks. The more subscribers I have the more I can make cool videos like this, which is what I love to do!!!

the Hercules tower was difficult to climb but the views are so worth it :) I wish we had more time there when we cruised there as you showed a lot of lovely places. Especially the Santiago de Compostela city, looks so cool. I would love to see it one day.

Oh so you are not far at all. Anyway I will publish more videos about the tower of Hercules and maybe about Santiago soon. Good luck and thanks for the comments.
I have never heard the "Hercules fell in love with a woman so he build her a city" story and my mother is from there, we still have family in and around Coruna yet nobody ever even mentioned anything like that. The most common accepted myth is that Hercules killed Geryon and then build a tower (Torre de Hercules) on top of his bones, hence the skull and bones underneath the tower in the coat of arms. The name A Coruna is highly debatable as nobody can agree on what the origins are.

Well, all the stories about Hercules I learned from the tower of Hercules. The story about the woman named Coruña is actually on their fact sheet leaflet that they give to the visitors of the tower.

@@NativeExplorer Hopefully by next year the virus situation has settled down and I can visit this beautiful city again. I'll make it a mission to actually go back into the tower again. I was there last year but didn't bother to go inside this time around. Thanks for the different theory, I'll keep my eye out for that flyer.
How far is it from San Anton castle to the tower by walking? Thanks.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job!

@@NativeExplorer Most people speaking Spanish say simply "Coruña"...Paradoxically "La Coruña" is a sort of Galicianism in Spanish...It is common in the Galician-Portuguese linguistic realm to have a definite article before some name places (o Porto, o Porriño, As Neves etc) whereas in Spanish barely occur and when it happens it is followed by "...de" eg. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, La Palma del Condado etc)...In fact there's another place called "Coruña del Conde" in Burgos (Castille), instead of "La Coruña del Conde"...

Native Explorer, ruego que eliminéis esa música andaluz-flamenca pues estáis en Galicia. Por favor, Galicia NO es la España de toros, paella, flamenco, feria de Sevilla, Fallas, San Fermín, etc. Pero, quien os asesoró para hacer este fondo musical. Galicia tiene cultura e idioma propio y, por lo tanto, música autóctona: Luar na Lubre, Carlos Núñez, etc. Artistas conocidos internacionalmente. Repito, parte de la música de fondo es una "ofensa" a nuestra realidad social y cultural. Galicia es una nacionalidad histórica.
