Campo da Leña

Plaza de España, also known as Campo de la Leña, is a pedestrian zone in A Coruña featuring paved surfaces of stone and cobblestones throughout its open area. The space is flat and straightforward to navigate, with clearly defined zones for movement.

The square originated in the late 19th century as part of an urban development project connecting the historic center with the Alameda district. This connection shaped the city's expansion during that growth period.

This square serves as a natural meeting place where locals pass through daily and gather for community events and festivities. It remains a focal point where neighbors encounter one another and experience the rhythm of city life.

The area is well-served by multiple bus lines with stops nearby, making it easy to reach. Numerous benches are available throughout, offering comfortable spots to rest and spend time.

A central monument on the plaza commemorates local resistance against French military forces during historical conflicts. This memorial often goes unnoticed by visitors despite its connection to important local events.
