Some of the most appealing bars in La Coruña are atmospheric holes in the wall with a local clientele and a decor that has remained virtually unchanged since the end of the Spanish Civil War. We like to start our evening at A Roda, Capitán Troncoso 8 (tel. 98-122-86-71; daily 1-4pm and 8pm-midnight), which is rightly known for its tapas. A lively group of both locals and visitors can be found here devouring such selections as octopus in its own ink. If you want to go dancing after your drinks and tapas, and if it's after around 11pm, consider a run into the town's most appealing and most popular disco, Disco Playa Club, Andén de Riazor (tel. 98-127-75-14). Set on an oceanfront terrace, a few feet from the waves of Playa Riazor, it's open year-round Thursday through Saturday.
