• The meeting location is in Plaza de María Pita, where the guide will be holding an orange umbrella. • This plaza has historically been the hub of social and political activities, featuring the Quartermaster's House, the Consistory, and the Artillery Warehouse. In the center of the square, the Fountain of Desire is prominent, crafted in the Dungem workshops of Paris in 1870. It features a bronze sculpture of a woman symbolizing desire, holding a lamppost in her right hand. The fountain is surrounded by planters and ash trees that create a canopy over the square, making it one of the city's most picturesque locations. • The church, built between the 12th and 14th centuries in a Romanesque-ogival style, is situated outside the old city walls, which is reflected in its name. It has been designated as a Heritage Site of Cultural Interest since 1931. • Located in the Old City, this garden is a unique green space known as a "hortus conclusus," established around the tomb of General Sir John Moore, a hero from the Battle of Elviña against the French, who died in 1809. • Besides the Tower of Hercules, another major symbol of A Coruña is the Galleries of the Navy, notable for their distinctive architecture, which has led to the city's nickname as "The Crystal City." • The Plaza del Humor honors comedic figures. Its current design was conceived by Siro López, a Galician writer and cartoonist, and was established in the early 1990s. It occupies the area of the former Plaza de los Huevos, named for its historical association with the sale of various products, including eggs. • A traditional supply market is located directly opposite the Plaza del Humor. The San Agustín market, featuring a striking parabolic roof, became a symbol of A Coruña's modernity in the 1930s. It is regarded as one of the boldest and most iconic buildings that align with the city's identity during the first half of the twentieth century.
