Meeting in Oleiros: Visiting A Coruña, on the 27th

We spent all Thursday day visiting Coruña city. In the first hours of the morning, we went to the tower of Hércules. A guide walked us explaining the whole history about this well-known monument of ours, and even though getting to the upper part of the tower was hard work, the views of the city we got from up there were absolutely worth it. Straight after, we went to Casa de los Peces (‘The Fish House’, which is an aquarium), where we visited all its facilities. We all were astonished by the seals’ show and the Nautilus, and more concretely, our Czech friends; they loved every bit of it!

We left again and walked to  the centre of the city where we spent pretty much a lot of time to have lunch. We re-started the visit at 16:00. In this occasion, Mª Luisa Fernández, one of our history teachers and to whom we’d like to say thank you from here, guided us through the city telling us about its history and curiosities. From the Obelisco, we walked along the Dársena and we visited the Ciudad Vieja (‘Old City’, the old part of town). Our day got to its end by last seeing Puerta Real. It was 18:30 and we all were exhausted.
