Why visit
La Coruna is a Galician coast city with the Tower of Hercules, harbor walks, seafood, beaches, and easy links toward Lugo. It is a strong base when the trip wants Atlantic Spain rather than Mediterranean Spain.
When to avoid
Atlantic storms hit La Coruña hardest from October through January. NASA POWER climate data puts rainfall in that stretch at roughly 130 to 146 mm a month, more than four times the 32 mm July averages. Red-alert storms have sent waves over 10 meters into the Paseo Marítimo, closing the harbor promenade along with Riazor and Orzán beaches and flooding as far as the Aquarium Finisterrae next to the Tower of Hercules. Plan for May through September if the trip depends on walking the seafront or spending time on Riazor or Orzán beach.
