Tourist tax in A Coruña: everything you need to know

If you have a holiday rental property or rural tourism accommodation, this measure directly affects you: from 27 September 2025, A Coruña applies a tax on tourist stays.

💶 How much is payable?

In both cases, the ordinance sets a rate of €2 per person per night, with a limit of 5 nights per guest for each stay.

In both cases, the official rate is €2 per person per night, with a maximum of 5 nights per guest for each stay.

Practical examples:

• Couple in a holiday home (3 nights):
  2 € x 2 people x 3 nights = 12 € in total.

  2 € x 4 people x 5 nights (max.) = €40 in total.
