By Car: A Coruña is connected to the rest of Spain and Portugal by two main highways: Autovía del Noroeste highway (also known as the A-6) and the Autopista AP-9. You can see current traffic information at http://www.dgt.es/es/ .

By Boat: You can also visit us by boat. Our seaport is in the city center and has pilots, tugs, moorers, refrigerators, storage, a fruit terminal, a fish terminal, and a collector terminal.

By Foot: Many are the pilgrims that include A Coruña in their itinerary when completing the Camino de Santiago or Way of Saint James, a pilgrimage route that ends at the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.

Those traveling to Galicia by sea from Scandinavia, Flanders, England, Scotland, and Ireland historically completed the Camino Inglés (English Way). This variant of the Way of Saint James is 46 miles from A Coruña to Santiago and can be carried out in three stages. Travelers can start their pilgrimage on foot from A Coruña’s port, led by the light of the Roman lighthouse known as the Tower of Hercules. After reaching Cambre, the route crosses Abegondo and continues until Hospital de Bruma, where it connects with an alternative English Way that starts in Ferrol. From here we reach Ordes, and then Sigüeiro, the last town before reaching Santiago.
