... y que mas?
... and what else?
... und was sonst noch?
¿Qué me pongo? ¡Nosotros ya lo tenemos claro, vamos de NOVIOS! Vosotros podéis venir elegantes, pero cómodos. La boda es de día y será en una capilla muy pequeña (máxima capacidad 60 personas) y a lado de la Playa de Mera. Así que, no venir con el bañador y las chanclas, que para nosotros es un día muy importante, pero queremos que estéis a gusto.
What should I wear? We know what we’re wearing! We’re going in our BRIDE AND GROOM attire! The dress code is elegant, but comfortable. It’s a day wedding in a very small chapel located right by Mera Beach. So, please don’t come in your bathing suits and flip-flops, as it is an important day for us, but please feel free to dress as you see fit.
Wie sieht's mit der Kleiderordnung aus? Also wir wissen, was wir anziehen! Ihr erkennt uns am HOCHZEITS-OUTFIT! Die Hochzeit findet tagsüber in einer kleinen Kapelle am Strand von Mera statt. Kommt elegant aber bequem, jedoch vielleicht nicht gerade in Flipflops und Badehose (. ..-hmm ?!... obwohl ... ?!).

Top 5 Visits in La Coruña (our recommendations)

4. The seaside promenade, Paseo Marítimo, that goes all around the Coruña peninsula, as well as Orzan and Riazor Beaches.
5. The Aquarium Finisterrae and/or Cervecería Estrella Galicia, depending on what kind of liquid you prefer.
Possible Day-Trips (less than 1 hour away)
Santiago de Compostela. For hundreds of years, thousands of people have been visiting this splendid town that is rich in history and culture. The pilgrimages to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela are done by foot, on bicycle or by horse, but you can take a train/bus/car. For those more into food and drink, Rua del Franco is a must.
Lugo: The old part of the city is completely surrounded by a Roman wall (1 AD), declared World Heritage monument in the year 2000. Go by bus (check times, only 1-2 trips/day) or by car.
Nice walk to Santa Cruz: There is a promenade, Paseo Marítimo, that goes all along the coast, for several kilometers, from more or less Perillo to Mera. You can walk to a small fishing village, called Santa Cruz, that is popular among tourists in the summer months. It has a few seaside cafes, nice boardwalk to take a stroll, and a Castle you can get to by crossing the wooden bridge right off the promenade. Spectacular sunsets!!!!
