Photos of Vigo

Walk: Stroll paths along the Lagares River which crosses the entire city from A Raposeira to Sámil Beach. The 8.3 km route winds through urban and natural Vigo. Visit Castro Park and explore its many trails. Check out the 18th century military fortress located there as well as its manicured gardens. Castro Park also has bike paths for cycle-savvy visitors. Take in the view after walking up to The A Guía Hill. From the lookout point admire the vista of Vigo and the bay. On a clear day, the photo opp is well worth the walk.

Get Out: Many come to Vigo for a night or two and then grab a boat to the idyllic Cíes Islands, one of Galicia’s main attractions. From Vigo it’s an easy 30 minute ferry ride to the Atlantic archipelago, a Spanish National Park. There are few services on the Cíes Islands, and those who want to stay the night will have to plan ahead and book a space at the only island accommodations, Camping Islas Cíes. Day-trippers will find hiking trails through lush forest, sugar white beaches, a couple cafes and two restaurants. Vigo’s beaches Baluarte and Las Barcas are also worth checking out in summer months.

Listen: Come to Vigo during festival time to sing, dance, drink and eat with locals. Take part in the Fiesta de La Reconquista in the in late March, or the religious celebration Fiestas Bouzas in July. Just outside of Vigo, participate in the traditional dance festival of Danza de San Roque de Hío in August. In the winter months, enjoy Carnaval de Cobres in Vilaboa around lent time (Feb-March). For something more cutting-edge, travel to A Coruña to international music festival, Sonar.

Avoid: Unless you love the rain and chilly weather, avoid Vigo in the winter months. Come during the summer for warmer days and breaks from rain showers. However, stay clear of camping on the Cíes Islands in August when most of Spain goes on vacation! The Cíes Islands are packed in August, meaning long lines, food shortages and crowds. Come in June, July or September to better enjoy the islands.
