Built in the Roman times, this iconic tower is the oldest working lighthouse in the world and has been given UNESCO World Heritage status.<\/p>\n<p>From the top of the tower, you can enjoy incredible views of the city of A Coru\u00f1a spread out below and the unrivalled Galician landscape beyond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drink authentic Galician beer at the Estrella de Galicia Restaurant <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Resisting ice-cold Spanish cerveza is difficult at the best of times, let alone when you\u2019re at the home of where one of the country\u2019s best-loved beers is made \u2013 Estrella Galicia.<\/p>\n<p>The Estrella Galicia brewery was founded in A Coru\u00f1a in 1906. The brewery\u2019s original location is now a brewery-restaurant known as Estrella de Galicia, where you can enjoy top Galician cuisine washed down with a refreshing Estrella Galicia fresh from the brewery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visit Las Galer\u00edas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Due to its unique architecture, which makes good use of glass, A Coru\u00f1a is known as the \u2018Glass City\u2019. Taking a look at Las Galer\u00edas, enclosed glass balconies which cling onto the side of many buildings in the city, is a fabulous way to comprehend just how architecturally-distinct A Coru\u00f1a really is.<\/p>\n<p>Most of these unique glass balconies date to the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century. The best Galer\u00edas can be seen on the Avenida Marina at the harbour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Coru\u00f1a is a bustling city nestled in the autonomous and culturally-distinct region of Galicia in North West Spain.
