Vigo, Spain

Posted bykmeyerk18Posted inUncategorized

We were able to have a short stay in Vigo which is a fishing and port city in the Galician region in the northwest part of Spain above Portugal. Galicia is an autonomous community which has its own language, a mix of Spainish and Portuguese which we did not do well with even when the person seemed to know some English.

The city sits on the estuary of the Vigo which runs into the Atlantic Ocean. From the water the city rises fast and the streets are steep!

This is a beautiful place that deserves more time.

Octopus, oysters, and barnacles are among the seafood specialities here.
During siesta time when not very many people are out and many places are closed.

Stone buildings with white term seem to be the theme here

  1. Those photos are beautiful, great job capturing a bit of it for us. I just had octopus last week in California, it looks good!

    And can we discuss the sculpture? I get the top half part, but is the other half legs standing up facing the body or facing away on it’s knees? I’m getting mixed messages. Hmmm….
