Are you walking the Ingles or planning to visit A Coruña before heading home?
Here, courtesy of Google Maps, is a total wonder - an absolutely immense Pohutukawa. It has a pointer all its own on the map!
You can find it behind a police station (of all places), a 12 or 13 minute walk from the Igrexa de Santiago, where the arm of the Ingles from A Coruña begins. The directions tell me it takes as much time to walk as to take the bus.
So if you want to feel a little more at home before you set off - or just want to make a botanical pilgrimage - check out this amazing and venerable tree!
Here is an interesting article that mentions it - you'll need to scroll down past the botanical details; about a third of the way down the page. The history of this tree and the history of Aotearoa make a very interesting story.

Edit - After posting this I realized that A Coruña and Chch are antipodes of each other. That tree is as far from home as it is possible to be and still be on the planet.
