Renowned globetrotter Marco Oggian finds his heart in A Coruña, Northern Spain, always returning to the cherished city that fuels his artistic passion.

A Coruña

"If you are in town I definitely recommend having a look at the Torre de Hércules. It's the oldest functional lighthouse in the world and the parkland around it is under UNESCO protection. It was built during the Roman Empire and it's very beautiful."

Torre de Hércules

"You can appreciate all the modernist architecture and Spanish Liberty-style buildings here. It's down by the harbor and the buildings have these beautiful wide windows."

Avenida da Mariña

"This castle was on what was originally an island but is now a peninsula. The building used to be a prison and it's where the city's old dungeons are. Right now, it houses the archaeological museum."

Castelo de Santo Antón

"For something more contemporary, I would recommend visiting the aquarium. It's amazing and has lots of different species of fish."

Aquarium Finisterrae

"I'd recommend all the kinds of squid and pulpo they offer here. They've also got shrimp and tuna from the Atlantic, which is delicious. The oysters are also really good."

Taberna da Galera

"My favorite shop is Sargadelos, which makes traditional ceramics from here. Their works are included in the MoMA collection. Everything they do is just beautiful."
