You arrive with salt on your jacket and wind already tugging at your scarf — the road out of A Coruña narrows and the Atlantic opens up into a raw, gray horizon. Cliffs sear upward and lighthouses punctuate the skyline like weathered sentries. The tour moves by 4x4 along hairpin coastal roads, pausing at viewpoints where gulls wheel and the sea seems to test the coastline's hold.
