A Coruna Culture and Traditions
- A Coruna, located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, is a historic city with strong ties to its former fishing and commercial port.
- The Old City is located on a peninsula that includes the Tower of Hercules, one of the city's icons, and an attractive Romanesque collection of streets, squares, and mediaeval churches.
- The Aquarium Finisterrae, Domus, and Science Museum are just a few examples of the provincial capital's more modern, recreational side, which includes one of its most stunning characteristics in the extensive beaches of Riazor and Orzán.
- The cuisine is known across the country for the high quality of seafood and meats, which are derived from the province's inland regions.
- Although A Corua's origins might be traced back to an ancient Celtic colony, the city's history began to take shape in Roman times, when the port became a vital stop on sailing routes.
- The Tower of Hercules, the city's only operational Roman lighthouse and a true emblem, is a testament to this epoch.

#Food
- Padrón pepper is a Galician pepper that comes from the municipality of Padrón.
- The colour of the peppers varies from brilliant green to yellowish-green.
- Although they usually have a mild flavour, around one out of every ten peppers is quite fiery, and it's nearly hard to tell them differently until you taste them, which is akin to playing Russian roulette with peppers.
- Padrón peppers are traditionally cooked in olive oil and seasoned with coarse sea salt.
- Most tapa taverns and restaurants in the region provide these, and it's a good idea to have a glass of beer, wine, or cider nearby if you eat a couple of the spicy ones.
