The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the salt in the air — not just a little, but that sharp Atlantic smell that clings to your skin. We met our guide near the base of the Tower of Hercules, which honestly looks even older in person than any photo. He handed us helmets and started with a Segway lesson. I was nervous (I’ve got terrible balance), but he cracked jokes in Spanish and English until we were all wobbling less. Kids zipped around like it was nothing. I probably looked like a penguin at first.

Once we got going, it felt weirdly smooth — gliding past these huge sculptures scattered across the grass, some modern, some ancient-looking. The wind kept tugging at my jacket. Our guide pointed out one statue and told us about the Celtic king who supposedly founded A Coruña; his accent made “Breogán” sound almost musical. There were locals walking dogs, an old man reading on a bench, and for a minute it felt like we were part of their morning routine instead of tourists.

We stopped right at the foot of the lighthouse. You can’t climb up on this tour, but standing there — sun in your eyes, waves crashing below — you get why they built it here 2,000 years ago. He explained how ships still use its light today. I touched the stone wall; it’s rough and cold even in June. Someone asked if people ever get tired of seeing it every day. Our guide just shrugged and smiled — “It’s home.” That stuck with me for some reason.

What’s included

Your outing includes hands-on Segway training with an instructor before starting out, use of a Segway throughout your ride around A Coruña’s Sculpture Park and up to the Tower of Hercules base — so you’re set for exploring even if you’ve never tried one before.
