The experience

The Tower of Hercules opens the ride. You'll approach the oldest lighthouse still in use anywhere, standing on a headland above the Atlantic. The guide explains its history and legend without taking you inside (the 250 stairs make that impractical on an e-bike tour), so you get the landmark and the story from ground level. From there the route moves through the city's oldest quarters, where you'll pass a sculpture honoring the first Celtic settlers and then the Family of Menhirs and Dolmens, abstract stone forms scattered across a plaza.

The longest stretch of the day follows the promenade (Europe's longest, running along the coast), where the pace slows and the city opens to water on one side. You'll roll past smaller sculptures and the seafront rhythm that defines La Coruña's character. The ride ends at Plaza de Maria Pita, the most emblematic square in the city, where the guide fills in who Maria Pita actually was and why her name anchors the place. A cold drink waits at the finish.

E-bikes handle the hills and distance without effort on your part. The guide sets the pace and stops when there's something to see or explain. The company has run these tours for over 15 years, so the route and timing are locked in. You'll need to be at least 14, stand taller than 150 cm, and weigh no more than 130 kg. A minimum of two people books the tour.
