Santa Cruz de Oleiros is a coastal town located in the province of A Coruña (La Coruña), in Galicia. Although it is primarily a residential area and a satellite municipality of A Coruña, it boasts a privileged position on the coast, with beautiful beaches and a spectacular view of the ocean. It is famous for its Santa Cruz Castle, situated on an islet and connected to the mainland by a bridge. Our travel designers recommend it for those seeking relaxing and discreet luxury with easy access to both Galician cities and maritime activities.
