Monte de San Pedro

"To disconnect from the world and breathe the scent of the Atlantic, we have a little secret in A Coruña: a visit to Monte de San Pedro. The ideal place to relax and enjoy the outdoors in every way you can imagine. This park was formerly a defensive point that was converted for the enjoyment of citizens and tourists since 1999. It has an area of ​​more than 90,000 square meters where you can do all kinds of hobbies. You can fly a kite, lie on the grass or watch the sunset. In addition, it has a great tourist attraction: the two Vickers pieces of more than 17 meters high that were acquired in 1929 and installed in 1933. But one of the main attractions of Monte de San Pedro is its evocative views. On one hand, you will see the Atlantic Ocean and the coastline up to Arteixo and the Sisargas Islands that belong to Malpica de Bergantiños. And on the other side, in the foreground, the city and the Costa Ártabra with the A Coruña estuary, where we will find Mera, Santa Cruz and the Oleiros coast and in the background the Betanzos estuary, the Ares estuary, the Ferrol estuary and the coast up to its Outer Port. You will have to look at the map to know how far your view reaches!"

"Few minutes by bus behind the city is this park. This place is made for picnics and romantic walks. The best time to visit it is before sunset. You can see there big historical cannons but when I was there for the first time I thought those are just big bottles of beers."
