Muxía to A Coruña

Well, last night we stayed up late to watch the sunset and this morning we woke up early to watch the sunrise. Luckily, we only had to step outside our room to watch the sunrise.

After breakfast, we took a three-hour bus ride to A Coruña for some beach time and to explore somewhere new. We drove through many charming towns. No more Camino walking for us even though the Camino Inglés runs through A Coruña.

We somehow got upgraded to a top-floor, corner-suite room with a bit of ocean view. We're pretty happy about that. The funny thing about hotels here is when you request two beds, they're made up as two beds but they're pushed together.

We enjoyed some tapas across from Playa de Riazor and then walked around. A Coruña is a big city but the old section still has a small-town feel to it. There are many, many streets full of shops and restaurants so we had a blast exploring. We noted a few spots we want to check out tomorrow.

We had a light dinner of salad and pimientos de Padrón then walked the promenade along the beach to watch the sunset.Read more
