To the south of the Rías Bajas lies Vigo, a city with a deep-rooted fishing tradition that today stands out as a modern city open to the world. Vigo is also known for a great maritime culture that has shaped not only its streets but also its gastronomy and its people. With a deep historical imprint, it has numerous Roman archaeological remains and areas such as the Berbés, an old fishing district where the Co-cathedral of Santa Maria is located.
Vigo, nicknamed the Gateway to the Atlantic, hosts in its estuary the Cíes Islands with paradisiacal beaches such as Rodes, considered by many the best in the world. In addition, the city has beautiful sites such as the Monte del Castro, with a spectacular view of the city, and special places such as the Oyster Street, the best place to eat this seafood from which it gets its name.
The Plaza de la Constitución, the Casco Viejo and its many terraces are obligatory stops for anyone wishing to discover the true charm of Galician culture. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MARCO) and the exquisite mix of architectural styles present in its neighborhoods give shape to a surprising city, suitable for all types of travelers.
