Tira do Playa Cafetería

A Coruña


For a drink with a view, you can't beat the picture-windowed Tira do Playa cafe, looking right along A Coruña's beach and across the bay to the Torre de Hércules, from its slightly elevated position at the west end of Playa de Riazor.

They serve alcohol and have a few light eats too.
