Getting to Know A Coruna

15 August 2017 | A Coruna, Spain
GW
Yesterday was spent settling back in after the trip over - washing the boat, the oilskins, our clothes and us, and starting on a few bits of minor maintenance. Nothing we want to change after this good shake-down, but we need to get the Auto Pilot fixed - that will be sent back to MEI in the UK for sorting out, but we can live without it for a while as Mr Windy P has done us proud. Walked out to the Tower of Hercules lighthouse (last surviving working Roman lighthouse, albeit rebuilt in the 18th century) and got to know the back-streets which are an interesting mix of old and new. In the evening went for our first promenade with the Spanish out in glamorous, noisy numbers. The evening seems to start around 8 or 9pm and go on till 1 or 2 in the morning. After a great meal, found with some difficulty, somehow we ended up at the Oktoberfest (in August? in A Coruna?) to finish off the evening - this town knows how to party. Today we had a stroll and visited the local castle and somehow the day passed, eating tapas and enjoying a slower pace of life.
