Day 2 La Coruña

Today we arrived at our first stop, the port of La Coruña. So as usual I got off the ship for a walk around the town for an hour or so. First stop was an indoor market, selling mainly fish and fruit & veg. I don't know what it is but, foreign food markets seem so much more exotic than the ones at home. Next was one of the most ornate churches I've seen. God knows (well he would wouldn't he) how many small alters there were but, there was a lot. Each one beautiful in its own right. Next I came across an unusual little square which seemed to be dedicated to the film and TV industry. Into the marble floor tiles was carved various characters of the entertainment industry from Laurel and Hardy, to Fred Flintstone and Barney. Now, I've been to La Coruña a few times but, never come across it before. (Just one practical point of interest is that the free wifi just outside the cruise terminal by the two naked statues is very good.)Read more
