Ferrol modernista
An urban walk through the galleries, façades and Modernista buildings of the Magdalena and the new town.
Ferrol keeps a notable set of 19th- and 20th-century town architecture. Glazed galleries inherited from maritime building sit alongside Modernista and eclectic façades.
Walk it slowly and look up. Good for a rainy morning, or combined with a visit to the Naval Museum.
