What travelers say:

The hotel in La Coruña is too powerful, you can see the sea and the sky from the room, and there is also MENHIRES POR LA PAZ on the grass slope, and Peace Stonehenge. But unlike the British Evebury Stonehenge, this is not a prehistoric monument, this sculpture group, designed by local sculptor Manolo Paz, and completed in 2003. PAZ means peace in Spanish, so the name is actually a pun, which means peace. Also refers to works completed by sculptors. This large lawn also has a name, called CAMPO DE RATA, if you are not mistaken, it literally means the mouse plain, and the reason is unknown. These 12 boulders stand on the lawn, 2 large representing parents, 10 small representing children, together represent a family, it should be for memory and memory, The republicans who were shot by Franco's Changgun Party, right? Built here for the same purpose, there is also a not far away Monumento aos Fusilados da Republica, the same style of antique relics, built on the seaside high, but a desolate and simple atmosphere. The lawn is on the side of the sea, a cliff, even on the inside of the bay, because it is directly connected to the Atlantic Ocean, the wind and waves are not small, the reefs are even more standing, and the waves are countless from time to time. The weather is very clear. The mountains and bridges in the distance are very clear. Here, It is a place that makes people feel one of the wide hearts. This yellow quadrangle yard by the sea, whether from its door, window decoration or the mosaic dome raised in the middle, is typical Islamic style, appearing here, it is a bit abrupt, it turned out that this is the burial place of the Moors, there is too much history to say, maybe, You should see MANUEL RIVAS's EL LAPIZ DEL CARPINTERO, the movie of the same name has a beautiful song, "Es como un sueño". Continue to move forward, the sea is getting more and more vast, still quite a kind, rolling up a thousand piles of snow, green grass, white waves, and blue sea, the picture is very beautiful, from calm to choppy, and then return to calm, like, our life. Thanks to the benches set up on the trail, so that the walking travelers can take a small, slightly bright sunset, gentle and not intoxicating, just like watching the Taos die, it is also a kind of, chic beauty. Walking through the sculpture of Hercules, looking back, Stonehenge has been far away, this trail is only a small part of PASEO MARITIMO, and the latter is 13 kilometers long, the longest urban seaside road in Europe, one day, or will come again, completely walk again.
