European Cruise Ports You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
18. La Coruña, Spain: Where the Atlantic Meets Spanish Elegance
This lesser-visited gem in northern Spain blends Galician history, striking Atlantic views, and world-class seafood. As home to the Tower of Hercules, the world’s oldest working lighthouse (a UNESCO site!), La Coruña offers stunning ocean panoramas and charming Old Town streets. Stroll along the Paseo Marítimo, Europe’s longest seafront promenade, or hop into a cozy tapas bar for Galician specialties like pulpo a la gallega (octopus with paprika). Unlike the more crowded Spanish cruise stops, La Coruña lets you experience authentic Spain, where history, culture, and ocean breezes collide.
