Vigo to everyone !! Spain
written by jaalvarez on November 23rd, 2008 (1 vote)

Vigo is the biggest town in the Northwest of Spain. Whooo!!! There are a lot of peculiar things in our town: Boats, graffiti, Commercial areas, rubbish, misery, happiness, parties, ducks in the gardens, big squares, little ones, … I think that you can meet all you need (more or less …)

To come with us, you can do it by plane (Peinador airport), by bus, by train, walking, in car, even in boat (too expensive, I think …). The history of the town is rich: from the prehistoric times to now. The Romans, the Vikings, Phoenician people, Greeks, temple soldiers, Napoleon troops, Captain Nemo, U-boats in the 2nd. WW, … some of them, left some vestiges from his “walk” in this town.

If you want to eat the sea products, you must come to our city. Oysters, fishes, all kinds of seafood’s, you must test them in Vigo. Our climate is “Atlantic”. It means that the clouds and the rain can appear at any moment. Any way, it is template. In the summer we have a lot of hot days, when you can go to the beach. Vigo have the Samil beach and the Vao (if you like the big ones), and a lot of little lovely beaches (A lot of them, I can say!!!).

Since always, Vigo has celebrated a lot of cultural events. Recently, international ones. Some of them can be the Cutty Sark race, the Cow parade, Volvo ocean race, the “Vuelta a España” (a lot of bikes in the town !!!), … You can go to the Spanish beaches in the South, to see a lot of historic places in the middle, to eat the best natural products in the North, and you come to Vigo and do all of this and so more things.
