Frequently Asked Questions

At the Muelle de Trasatlánticos, right in the centre. It is one of the few terminals in Europe that puts passengers literally into the middle of city life, with no shuttle and no taxi queue.
It comes from whole facades of glazed galleries, white and lined up like waves of glass. These verandas catch the Atlantic light while keeping the wind out. Cross the avenue in front of the quay to photograph them from the far pavement: it is the first shot of the call, and often the best.
María Pita square and the old town first, five minutes from the quay, then the Tower of Hercules along the coastal walk. A tapas stop rounds out the day. No organised excursion is needed.
By a 3.2-kilometre coastal promenade, about forty minutes on foot facing the ocean, or on buses 3 and 5. The path crosses a wind-swept sculpture park.
It is a Roman lighthouse still in service — the oldest working lighthouse in the world, on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The climb to the top gives a full panorama of the Atlantic coast.
The local heroine who in 1589 rallied the defence of the walls against an English assault. The large arcaded square that bears her name, dominated by the city hall and its domes, opens up less than five minutes' walk from the quay.
Yes, which is rare for a major European port call. The city beaches of Riazor and Orzán curve away about fifteen minutes' walk from the terminal. Surfers watch for swell here even in winter, which tells you something about the water temperature.
Octopus dusted with paprika, squid, empanadas, washed down with cold whites. The ritual is done standing or on a terrace, in the narrow streets behind María Pita, hopping from counter to counter with a shared plate at each stop.
Very well. Flat ground around the terminal, beaches within walking distance, a seafront promenade and a lighthouse to climb: children are covered without booking anything.
The euro; Spanish and Galician. Wind and spray are common on the coastal walk, so a light jacket helps even in summer. June to September for the mildest days.
