I'll be at the Castle entrance. I'll be wearing my official guide badge and the GuruWalk logo.
Description
Discover what no one tells you...
Did you know that some original keys to A Coruña are kept in a castle in Wales?
Or that some places in the Old City still hold secrets of lost loves, ghosts, and legends that are only within the reach of the researcher?
This is not a data tour.
It is a walk through the secret soul of the city.
A route full of curiosities, hidden stories, and forgotten figures who once walked these same streets and lived stories worth telling.
The tour will be exclusively outdoors. We'll walk through the labyrinthine streets of Hercules' Old Town and see the following sites:
- San Antón Castle (meeting point)
- St. Michael's Gate
- Garden of San Carlos
- House of Rowing
- Dominican Square
- Barbaras Square
- Collegiate Church of Santa María
- Cornide House
- Synagogue Street
- Rosalía de Castro's House
- Constitution Square
- Azcárraga Square
- Church of Santiago
- Emilia Pardo Bazán's House
- María Pita Square
- St. George's Church (end of tour)
Each of these places holds an anecdote, a secret or a legend.
It'll be a fun and interesting hike. So rain or shine... the visit will be unforgettable!
