LA CORUÑA

La Coruña or A Coruña is one of Galicia's two largest cities, the other being Santiago de Compostela.  Coruña is a port city which is situated close to the border of Portugal on the Costa de Morte or death coast. One of Coruña's claims to fame is that Picasso lived there as a boy between 1891 and 1895.  You won't find any monuments to Picasso in Coruña because there aren't any, the nearest you'll get is a plaque on the wall of a third story apartment at 14 Payo Gomez st acknowledging the fact that he once lived there.  What you may find is a bar named the Picasso in the Orzan district.  The bar is decorated with black and white pictures of Picasso and since it began in 1985 the area has  become chic with many other bars and restaurants opening nearby. La Coruña is amongst Spain's most important ports.  It is one of the main stop over's for the many  cruise ships which frequent the area.  There is a small airport 8kms from the centre of Coruña which handles mostly internal flights from other parts of Spain.  The regions main airport is Santiago de Compostela.  La Coruña is an historic city but is modern and commercial at the same time.

  Does It Really Save Anything?

Before deciding to use the Hotels Combined search engine on our website, we decided to do a bit of research to see if  money really could be saved,  the results were pretty unbelievable. I don't know if you realised but hotel booking agencies can quote  vastly different prices for exactly the same accommodation. Take for example the prestigious Melia Araguaney Hotel in Santiago de Compostela, our Hotels Combined check came in with prices  from three of the main online booking agencies at 98, 146 and 186 euros a night, that's the same hotel, the same accommodation and the same dates, quoted by three different booking agents. For anybody wanting to book, that would be a staggering 88 euros a night saving.  Here's another, the 5 star Puerta del Camino also in Santiago de Compostela ranged from 96 to 177 euros a night 81 euros a night difference !!. Okay, these are pretty extreme examples,  Galicia doesn't have to be that expensive , there are plenty cheap hotels available but even with the 3 and 4 star hotels, a lot of money can be saved.   Let's look at some cheaper hotels, the 3* rated Congresso same dates, same accommodation, bookinhotels 33 euros a night agoda 54 euros and booking.com 58 euros a night, a saving of 25 euros a night, enough for a good meal.  Here's another one, the 3* Area Central, bookinhotels  62 euros a night, booking.com  68 euros and hotels.com 126 euros, this one could have saved you a massive 64 euros a night!!!  This just goes to prove that by shopping around, a huge amount of money can be saved.  The Hotels Combined search engine does all the shopping around for you, all you need to do is grab the bargain.  The examples above were taken  randomly from the Hotels Combined search engine, just to give you an idea of how much can be saved.  Almost every hotel we checked had savings.  The dates we used for the prices above were May 2nd until May 16th 2009. Using the Hotels Combined search engine can save you a substantial amount of money.
