The best gelato I've ever had! The prices were super reasonable (2.50 euros for a medium and 3.5…read moreeuros for a large) and there were so many different flavors! This place had more specialty flavors and not many sorbet options but I got the ferrero rocher and the Oreo. The ferrero rocher was definitely my favorite flavor. The spoons were also edible as well! I would come back again if I'm ever in the area.

Amazing. No other words…read more Came here one day when I was in the city, and oh my Lord amazing ice cream. The service is really nice and helpful. There is a large array of flavors and different things to choose from. In a really pretty location right next to the square and to the port, in the center. Very very nice.

I don't know if it's because it was my first ice-cream of the summer but wow, blown away!…read more They just kept giving me flavors to try and every single one impressed my artisanal ice cream loving taste buds. It made it nearly impossible to decide and after coffee, rum+fig, hazelnut, orujo, banana, passion fruit, strawberry, etc., I went with the extraordinary coffee and the fresh-out-of-the-garden tasting strawberry. So so good. Tons of flavors divided into two mouthwatering sections : dairy and dairy-free (*vegan-friendly) And don't panic, it's ALL organic!

After spending a significant amount of time in Spain, and walking past heladeria after heladeria,…read moreit is only just a matter of time before I cave and indulge in some ice cream. Although there are a few ice cream shops along Avenida Marina (one of the main streets in this part of A Coruña), Heladeria Colon was my favorite of the shops we tried. (Yes, there was more ice cream in my future.) It's a pretty popular place - you can guarantee that there will be a long queue, especially later into the evening. I have no idea how the employees manage to have such energy helping countless customers and staying on their feet for hours on end. It's best not to get to the shop TOO late, or you may be sadly informed that your first and second choices of flavors are no longer available. Because my first choice (turron) was no longer available, I selected a cone of the crema tostada flavor. The ice cream tasted just like the classic dessert that is made using eggs, sugar, and milk. The texture of the ice cream itself was so smooth and creamy. 2 Euro well-spent!

La Penela is located in the Plaza de María Pita. The restaurant has enclosed seating in the plaza,…read moreas well as seating inside the restaurant (there is also a bar area). We sat inside the enclosed area in the plaza, which is also good for large parties. As with most restaurants directly on the plaza, the prices are a bit higher than one might expect for this area of Galicia, but the quality of the food is outstanding. We were brought some crackly, fluffy Galician bread, which is impossible not to pick at, while we decided what to order. We ordered both a bottle of wine and sangria. As someone who is particular about sangria, I was very impressed at how well the it was mixed. It was less punchy and sweet than some sangrias, but retained its fruitiness and was very refreshing. For appetizers, we shared the pimientos de padron which were cooked to absolute perfection. It made me miss the home cooking that I once got to enjoy. In this batch, there were no hot surprises but the peppers were crispy without being soggy and perfectly salted. We also shared the croquetas de bacalao, which were some of the best I've ever had. There was so much bacalao in them and the outside of the croquetas retained their crispiness without the insides getting mushy. For a main course, I had the merluza. The best part of going to Galicia is access to seafood where the fish were caught earlier that day. The merluza was so fresh, and the red sauce it is prepared in did not overpower the fish. The portion was quite generous too - I had leftovers, which I shared with the rest of my table. By the time we had dessert, the only option available was ice cream. (There is a much better ice cream shop about a 5 minute walk away.) It would have been nice to try the Tarta Santiago or one of the other homemade desserts.
