When we were in La Coruna, we docked right by downtown. No need for shuttle. We just got off the ship and walked all over. There is a small but really good archeological museum that is on the water front very near where the ship docks. You just turn right when you get off the ship and walk a ways. Highly rec it. Also just walking all over in La Coruna is great fun. All the outdoor cafes are glassed in like terrariums because it rains there so much. We had tapas and dramk good Spanish wine.
