About the city:
Hosted on Spain’s Atlantic coast, A Coruña offers a memorable setting for the conference, from the iconic Tower of Hercules , the world’s oldest Roman lighthouse still in use, to one of Europe’s longest seaside promenades and the city’s famous glass-fronted balconies that give it the nickname “City of Glass.”
