Like every first Sunday in May, Mother's Day is celebrated in Spain. An event with which many people identify and thank their mother (or the female person who cares for and supports her) for her love and efforts with a gift. A material or immaterial present that is usually accompanied by kisses, hugs and, of course, time together. So if you are in A Coruña this weekend, don't miss these five plans to enjoy a complete Mother's Day.
A BRUNCH
Are you into açaí bowls or poached egg and avocado toast, matcha tea or latte, croissant or ham and tomato toast? It doesn't matter what you like to have for breakfast to start your day because this weekend we want you to try some of the most spectacular brunches in the city. Some of them are even pet friendly, so you'll have no problem bringing your pets along.
BUY LOCAL HANDICRAFTS
A Coruña breathes art, design and fashion, being a source of inspiration for creatives and the perfect setting for the best artistic expressions. Here you'll find small shops with unique pieces (both fashion and crafts), studios where the next trends are cooked up and large stores where you'll have everything to hand.
PICNIC AFTERNOON
It is said, told and rumoured that A Coruña is a great place to eat and, of course, we will not be the ones to say otherwise. Fish, seafood, meats, zero-kilometre garden produce, traditional and avant-garde cuisine... For all these reasons we are a benchmark in Atlantic gastronomy, but this time we want you to enjoy the small pleasures of life with a picnic. With your loved ones as your best company and with portions of omelette, Cantabrian squid and a delicious pie, you can enjoy a meal or a snack in any park or sandy area of the city.
SELF-CARE DAY
There are several doubts that plague us when we have or want to give a gift, although we are sure that a day for self-care always triumphs. A relaxing massage, a treatment to release the stress of everyday life or simply a day at the pool are perfect to celebrate Mother's Day. In A Coruña you have the option of going to Termaria-La Casa del Agua to escape from routine.
BID FAREWELL TO THE DAY BY LOOKING AT THE HORIZON
And our fifth plan is almost a must for both locals and visitors to A Coruña and for those of you who are coming on holiday or on a short break. We invite you to say goodbye to Mother's Day by looking at the horizon from the Tower of Hercules, a symbol of our city and our past.
