A Coruña Seafront Promenade

An urban route of more than thirteen kilometres that skirts the A Coruña peninsula along the Atlantic, with separate sections for pedestrians, bicycles and road traffic. Along the way you pass beaches such as Riazor and Orzán, coves and cliffs, as well as landmarks like the Millenium obelisk, the Tower of Hercules and the science museums Aquarium Finisterrae and Domus. Red Modernist-inspired street lamps, decorated with enamel panels themed to each area, and stone benches line the promenade, which also gives access to Monte de San Pedro by a panoramic lift. It is a very popular place for walking, running or cycling at any time of year, although on sunny days it is wise to bring water and sun protection, as there is little shade.
