ARVIA, 13 night cruise to Spain and France.La Coruna, our first port of call.

La Coruna.
I have been several times and clearly remember the very first visit. We docked in the heart of the city, two ugly buildings greeted us, the port reeked with urine, condoms strewn everywhere.
It could only get better, I thought, and it did, even if not cleaner.
The street running alongside the port is lovely, lined with coffee shops and little boutiques.


When we were asked to rate the ports we had visited, I, and many others wrote the port needs a big clean up. And the town's council listened.
But covid affected La Coruna as it affected most towns, many establishments have closed and only time will tell if they are going to re - open. Still, I found a lovely coffee shop, had excellent orange juice and latte, a rather disappointing croissant, walked a lot and content returned to the ship.
