Oleiros is a residential town just 6 miles from A Coruña. It’s beloved by visitors, who come to its shores to enjoy beaches such as Santa Cristina, Bastiagueiro and Mera.

Santiago de Compostela is a short drive away as is La Coruña which has ample parking and great shopping, plus loads of good food in the old part of town.
