20 September 2026 A Coruna: Exploring to the West Along the Coast

 


With the rental car, more locations became available for us to explore.   We drove along the water to the west on a cobbled street hugging the cliffs.  It was most beautiful and we stopped a a few spots along the way.  Then we curved around to the top of the mountain and visited the park at the top.  There was a maze, a pair of huge artillery pieces, manicured lawns and lots of folks out enjoying a sunny Sunday. 


Folks were marching through town, a protest? 


We started off with a good lunch


Salad, enough to take leftovers back to the hotel


Pizza, also enough for dinner


A tasty pasta, lunch, dinner and breakfast!


This big oven had a rotating base that kept the pizzas in continuous motoin


A space age funicular


It did not appear to be in operation


Way off in the distance is the tower of Hercules


No end of delightful sculptures


Further along the coast we stopped and fond this giant rock sculpture


We were envious of this house on the edge of the sea


Several small islands were here and one seemed to have a serious concrete structure


As if the giant rock pile was not enough a bronze lady striding along was also here


Continuing along the road


Passing a bike shop


On the top of the mountain this building matched the funicular's design


Big rocks and a deep green lawn


A-Maze-ing


Looking down at the tower


Big guns!


Another gun off in the distance


Holes to spare. A woodpecker condo


It is bring your cat to the park day


Several frogs in a tiney pond


Cute little buggers


Layers upon layers of green


The park stretches out in front of us


This shows how narrow the peninsula of land was in A Coruna 


Just a delightful place


The dome of mystery, I went to the doors but nothing was going on inside


Returning along the cobble road


The RV crowd have found their place


the artist really made their point


We passed the soccer stadium, lots of folks in blue and a few in green jerseys


On our evening walk


In the park


One of the larger sculptures right next to a fointain


A big rough hewn eagle 


Time to head back inside to warm up


Lovely doors
