Midsummer bonfires in A Coruña
On June 23rd, just before midnight, the A Coruña Sea Promenade and, specially Riazor and Orzán beaches, become a hectic place while the witches go around before litting the highest bonfire. Fireworks cover the sky lighting a city that will not sleep until next morning.
Where to rest? If you are looking for a quiet spot to disconnect from the hustle and bustle, la Casa Rural D´Anita is the ideal place. You may also rent it exclusively with your friends for quite a recommendable price http://www.escapadarural.com/casa-rural/a-coruna/casa-d-anita
The following day, after such a great night, don't stay in bed and go diving in the Atlantic! Discover one of the most spectacular places in Galicia, the Cíes Islands with extraordinary crystalline water!
If after so many adventures you still want to live a sumptuous experience before departing to your next destination, go to a spa. In A Coruña you can visit Arteixo or Baños Viejos de Carballo (http://www.spanatura.com/publico/ficha.aspx?ID=48) You'll get fit with their treatments!
