Zara

A Coruña

The first-ever Zara boutique sits in A Coruña’s main shopping area at the southwest end of the isthmus. Opened in 1975 by local clothesmaker Amancio Ortega, it's now one of more than 2000 Zara shops scattered all around the world – but the Inditex group, of which Zara is now part, still has its headquarters in Arteixo on A Coruña’s outskirts.

Inditex includes Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius and other international brands, and Ortega was the world's fourth-richest person in 2017, according to Forbes magazine, with a net worth of US$71 billion.
