2. A Coruña

A getaway in the north is always a good choice, but even more so at this time of the year.
Visit the markets of the city and its smells, stroll through its streets and discover why they call it the "City of Glass". You must pay a visit to the Tower of Hercules, a World Heritage Site since 2009, as it is the oldest Roman lighthouse in the world and the only one that remains in service.
Admire the deserted beaches and cliffs of Costa da Morte, more specifically Finisterre, as the Romans called "the end of the world". And it seems that it is!

And if you make your Easter Holidays getaway by car, you can even spend a day in Santiago de Compostela and you will see many pilgrims arriving at the Cathedral.
The council has created many routes around the city in honour of different events such as the "Picasso route" or the "tapas route", so you don't miss out on everything that A Coruña has to offer.
Galicia awaits you with its traditional “Galician style” octopus and its amazing landscapes, which will make you fall in love with the northern land.

If you visit on these dates, you must see the Manaies show. The first evidence of its existence dates back to the 18th century and they are Roman soldiers from the Brotherhood of Jesus Crucified, who walk the streets of Girona with processions on Holy Days. They can be seen in the Cathedral of the city and it is a scene that, whether you are religious or not, surely is impressive to see.
