Living in A Coruña

A Coruna is a Galician city that shares its name with its province, and that shared name is the first thing to get right. INE, the national statistics office, never prints A Coruna at all. It prints Coruna, A, the article inverted for sorting, using that same form for municipality and province, one line apart in the same selector. IGE, the Galician institute, prints A Coruna for the province and for the comarca while printing Coruna, A for the municipality, in one column, separable only by the code prefix. Our display name is A Coruna and INE's is not. We say so rather than reconcile it.

The two tiers are not interchangeable. At 1 January 2025 the padron gives the municipality 251,543 residents and the province 1,135,612, so an unlabelled Coruna figure can be out by more than four times. Every number here is the municipality unless we say otherwise. Idealista's asking prices behave the same way, with the city well above the province, though the province rose faster over the year to July 2026.

Two rail facts matter, and one of them points backwards. The station has run from a provisional terminal since 14 December 2024 while a new intermodal station is built. And the total station closure of 26 June to 10 July 2026 has ended, on Renfe's own restoration notice.

The verdict

Honestly considered, both sides.

The upside is real. So is the downside. Both matter more than any brochure will admit.

The case for

  • A wide spread of rail services

    Adif's own station listing for A Coruna carries Media Distancia, Alvia, AVE, Avlo, Avant and Regional. The total station closure of 26 June to 10 July 2026 is over, and Renfe published the notice restoring Media Distancia, Avant and Larga Distancia alike.

  • Mild winters at the city climate station

    AEMET's 1981 to 2010 normals for station 1387, whose coordinates fall inside the municipality, give an annual mean of 14.8 degrees and 0.1 days of frost a year. The airport station at Culleredo records 10.3 frost days.

  • Twelve city areas carry a published price

    Idealista's July 2026 report gives an asking price for twelve of the fifteen areas it lists in the municipality, from Ciudad Vieja - Centro, the dearest of the twelve, to Elvina - A Zapateira, which is priced but carries no year ago comparison.

  • A named health area with a named complex

    SERGAS places A Coruna in the Area Sanitaria da Coruna e Cee, one of the seven areas sanitarias it publishes for Galicia, and the Complexo Hospitalario Universitario A Coruna, the CHUAC, is that area's hospital complex.

  • An Aena airport in a different municipality

    Aena counted 1,292,166 passengers at A Coruna Airport across 2025, the large majority of them on domestic flights. The airport itself sits in the municipality of Culleredo rather than in the city of A Coruna.

The case against

  • The city name collides with the province

    INE prints Coruna, A for the municipality and for the province, byte for byte the same, separated only by an internal code. The municipality holds 251,543 people on the padron and the province 1,135,612.

  • The station is a provisional terminal

    Adif has run A Coruna from a provisional terminal since 14 December 2024 while the new intermodal station is built. Adif's page for the station carries no date stamp at all, so nothing on it says how current the service list is.

  • Three listed areas carry no asking price

    Mesoiro, Riazor - Visma and Viono appear in Idealista's area list for the municipality with no price behind them. Riazor is one of the best known sea front names in the city, and we will not borrow another area's figure for it.

  • The heritage tram is suspended

    The city council lists the Tranvia Turistico as suspended until further notice, giving neither a suspension date nor a resumption date. It is a tourist service rather than urban transport, and we do not present it as a tram network.

  • Wet, and foggier at the airport station

    Station 1387 records 1014 millimetres of rain and 129.6 days of a millimetre or more across the year on AEMET's 1981 to 2010 normals. Station 1387E, at Culleredo, logs 1106 millimetres and 69.4 days of fog.

Editor's note

Where you might be better off elsewhere

A note on what this page will not tell you. We publish no distances, no journey times and no frequencies anywhere on the site, so you will not find A Coruna described as close to anything. That bites harder here than usual, because two of the things a buyer asks about first sit in another municipality: the airport is in Culleredo, and so is station 1387E, which carries the airport's climate record. We have named the municipality and left the kilometres out.

Renfe runs Media Distancia from here to Lugo and to Ferrol, and a Regional service to Vigo Guixar, while the Avant works the line from Ourense. Three other guides here are worth reading next. Santiago de Compostela is in the same province, and its asking prices sat below A Coruna's in Idealista's July 2026 report. Valladolid's commuter corridor is a Renfe Proximidad service rather than a Cercanias network. Toledo has one service type in Adif's listing, an Avant from Madrid Puerta de Atocha. We have not fetched a Galicia wide price and will not stand the province's figure in for one. Where we could not establish something, we have written that, rather than filling the space.

A Coruña FAQ

Honest answers to the questions buyers actually ask.

Why does INE call the city Coruna, A?+
Because INE inverts the Galician article for alphabetical sorting. It printed Coruna, A in every place we looked, for the municipality and for the province alike, and it never printed A Coruna. IGE, the Galician statistics institute, prints A Coruna for the province and for the comarca but Coruna, A for the municipality, all in a single column, separable only by the code prefix. Our display name is A Coruna. It differs from INE's, and we would rather say that than tidy it away.
How many people live in A Coruna?+
It depends which INE operation you take, and both are dated 1 January 2025. The Cifras Oficiales padron gives the municipality 251,543. The Censo Anual de Poblacion gives 251,277. The difference is 266, INE does not reconcile the two, and neither is a correction of the other. The province of A Coruna, which carries the same name, stands at 1,135,612 on the padron. Every figure on this page is the municipality unless we label it otherwise.
Is the train station closed?+
No. Adif closed it completely from 26 June to 10 July 2026, and Renfe then published a restoration notice: services with origin or destination A Coruna resumed on the Saturday following the 26 June interruption, Media Distancia, Avant and Larga Distancia alike. That closure has ended, on Renfe's own restoration notice. What has not ended is the provisional terminal, in use since 14 December 2024 while the new intermodal station is built.
Does A Coruna have Cercanias trains or a tram?+
We have not been able to establish a Cercanias line inventory for A Coruna, so we publish none. Adif's station listing shows no Cercanias service type at all, which supports that gap without turning it into proof that nothing runs. The metre gauge network is Renfe Cercanias AM, never FEVE. The tram is the heritage Tranvia Turistico, which the city council lists as suspended until further notice, with no dates in either direction.
How many residents were born outside Spain?+
On the Censo Anual de Poblacion at 1 January 2025, INE publishes 44,790 residents of the municipality born outside Spain, out of 251,277. On the separate nationality basis, 23,442 hold a foreign nationality. The two count different things, and the gap is naturalisation, since the padron records one nationality per person. The largest birthplace groups INE publishes are Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Cuba and Argentina. Cuba is the sharpest example, 3,847 by birthplace against 1,296 by nationality.
Which parts of the city have published prices?+
Idealista's July 2026 report prices twelve of the fifteen areas it lists for the municipality. Ciudad Vieja - Centro is the dearest of those twelve. Elvina - A Zapateira is priced but carries no year ago comparison, printed as n.d., so it remains a priced area. Mesoiro, Riazor - Visma and Viono are listed with no price at all. July 2026 is the first month on Idealista's revised method, so any annual change straddles that boundary. These are advertised asking prices rather than sale prices, and there is no barrio tier beneath the district table here.
What is the reference hospital?+
SERGAS does not use the phrase hospital de referencia on the pages we read, so we will not borrow it. What SERGAS does publish is that A Coruna belongs to the Area Sanitaria da Coruna e Cee, one of the seven areas sanitarias SERGAS lists for Galicia, and that the Complexo Hospitalario Universitario A Coruna, the CHUAC, is that area's hospital complex. A draft decree published in August 2026 would alter management structures only. It creates, merges and abolishes no area, and it is not in force.
What is the climate like?+
AEMET publishes 1981 to 2010 normals from two stations here, and they are not interchangeable. Station 1387, at 57 metres with coordinates inside the municipality of A Coruna, gives an annual mean of 14.8 degrees, 1014 millimetres of rain, 37.0 fog days and 0.1 frost days. Station 1387E, at the airport in the municipality of Culleredo and 98 metres up, gives 13.8 degrees, 1106 millimetres, 69.4 fog days and 10.3 frost days. We do not average them.
What are the costs of buying property in A Coruña?+
When buying property in A Coruña, budget for property transfer tax (ITP) of 8%, plus roughly 3-4% in notary, land registry and legal fees. Agency commission is usually paid by the seller. On the mainland and the Balearics, new builds pay VAT (IVA) of 10% plus AJD stamp duty instead of ITP. Transfer tax is set by Galicia rather than nationally, and reduced rates can apply for main homes and younger buyers.
What are the ongoing costs of owning property in A Coruña?+
Annual property ownership costs in A Coruña include IBI (property tax) of 0.4-1.1% of cadastral value, community fees (for apartments), rubbish collection tax (basura), utility bills, and property insurance. Budget approximately 2-4% of property value per year for all running costs. IBI is set by the town hall of A Coruña within a national band, so it is municipal rather than regional.
What taxes do I pay when selling property in A Coruña?+
When selling property in A Coruña, you pay capital gains tax (plusvalía) on the profit at rates of 19-26% depending on the gain amount. Non-residents have 3% of the sale price withheld at completion. You may also pay municipal capital gains tax. Main residence exemptions may apply for residents over 65. Capital gains tax is national, so it is the same in Galicia as anywhere in Spain. Plusvalia municipal is set by the town hall of A Coruña and has had two calculation methods since the 2021 reform, so ask your lawyer which one is cheaper for you.
Can I still get a Golden Visa by buying property in Spain?+
No. Spain withdrew the Golden Visa property investment route in April 2025, so buying in A Coruña no longer leads to residency. Non-EU buyers who want to live in Spain apply for a separate permit instead, most often the non-lucrative visa (proof of income and private health insurance) or the digital nomad visa (remote work for non-Spanish clients). Ask an immigration lawyer which route fits your situation before you buy.

Transfer tax rates as of August 2026. Rates are set per autonomous community and do change. Confirm the current figures with a Spanish lawyer or tax adviser before you budget.
