The city of Vigo


Vigo – the city of the sea

In this blog entry I would like to introduce you to the unique city of Vigo, where I was living from 2011 to 2012 and the Au pair of a five years old Spanish girl.

Vigo is situated in north-west Spain and although most people have never heard of it, it´s the largest city of Galicia.
The city is surrounded by incredibly beautiful beaches and the port is where the largest quantity of fresh fish is handled in Europe.

Vigo´s horizon is speckled by the Cies Islands, one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and the beach there is even said to be the most beautiful in the world.

Porta do Sol is the name of the central point, it connects the beautiful old town with the main shopping street called Principe, where you can find all kind of stores.

Another important thing to mention is Vigo´s amazing nightlife. A typical night of partying doesn´t end before 8 o´clock in the morning.


I could endlessly talk about this city and really recommend everybody to visit Vigo, which is still a secret spot.
