Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. A Coruña
A Coruña sits on a thumb of land poking into the Atlantic, with a harbour on one side and open ocean beaches on the other, so the city has two moods depending on which side of the isthmus you stand. The Orzán and Riazor beaches face the wind and surf, while the old town and the glass-fronted houses of the Marina look in over calmer water. It is Galician to the core, which means the weather can change four times in an afternoon and nobody will remark on it.
