[@diradeb]

Thank you for taking the time to write a very detailed reply. I'm impressed by your genuine love for Galicia and will not be so quick to dismiss it ❤❤❤🎉❤🎉.

Thanks for the info we will be visiting next year as part of our 70th birthday celebrations cruise.

We think you’ll really enjoy this port. Whether you go further afield or stay in town, Vigo offers great food, lovely views and a very northern slice of Spanish life. Happiest of birthdays! Enjoy!

Good information and well presented. But please pay attention to volume control. When showing still photos, volume is at one level but then when you switch to live video, it gets much louder.

[@welltravelledlife]

Ugh! We were SO new to this when we made this video. We still struggle with equalizing all of the different audio inputs, but hopefully we’ve gotten to the point where we aren’t making you lean in and then blasting you out of your seat. We hope the information is helpful enough to make you stick with us or give another video a chance to improve.

Hi, love the video. if we were to follow this, wonder if anyone know how long this walking trip might take?

[@welltravelledlife]

To get into the old town won't take more than 10 minutes. To get up to the Parque, it will probably take about 30 minutes - if you don't stop for pinxhos and sangria on the way!

Vigo (GALICIA).

[@welltravelledlife]

Such a beautiful part of the country.

[@diradeb]

Ugly art, eating poor animals.. 😢 this is off my list of places to visit. Thank you for the honest review.

[@placidobaamonde6374]

@diradeb: no sé de donde eres, pero tu desconsideración hacia mi tierra, Galicia, es injusta. Comiendo animales pobres?! Mira, la gastronomía gallega está considerada como exquisita (sobre todo mariscos y pescados). Galicia es todo lo que te digo a continuación, y mucho más: Bosques, ríos, Rías (brazos de mar que penetran profundamente en la tierra), la muralla romana (dos kilómetros) mejor conservada del mundo en Lugo, patrimonio la humanidad, la torre de Hércules en A Coruña que es el faro romano más antiguo en funcionamiento, patrimonio de la humanidad, Santiago de Compostela que es la capital de Galicia, patrimonio de la humanidad y ciudad maravillosa presidida por su catedral y meta de todos los Caminos de Santiago, mundialmente famosos con millones de peregrinos. Galicia, con cultura e idioma milenario propio, es una comunidad autónoma de España que es diferente al estereotipo que se vende de España a los extranjeros. Ese desprecio tuyo hacia mi tierra, con seguridad se transformaría en aprecio y admiración si la visitaras. Mira: los 2.000 kilómetros de costa con más de 15 Rías, los centenares de ríos de aguas limpias y cristalinas, la Ribeira Sacra con los ríos Sil y Miño discurriendo entre montañas cubiertas de bosques y de viñedos, con decenas de monasterios e iglesias románicas en las laderas de las montañas, decenas de cascadas preciosas y, entre ellas, la de Ézaro que es la única de Europa en la que un río desemboca desde lo alto permanentemente todo el año en el mar; los cascos históricos de las ciudades de Lugo, Pontevedra, Ourense y, por supuesto, Santiago de Compostela, por si mismos ya merecen una visita. Y Vigo, una ciudad preciosa con una Ría maravillosa, defendida por las islas Cíes que es un parque nacional y con una playa, la de Rodas, que fue considerada por el diario británico The Guardian como la mejor del mundo. Y mucho más que te podría contar, diradeb; peo, creo que este rápido e incompleto bosquejo de lo que atesora Galicia debería bastar para que tu deseo de visitarla se hiciera realidad. Un cordial saludo desde Santiago de Compostela.

​@@placidobaamonde6374 I replied to you in the main thread 🎉

[@welltravelledlife]

@@placidobaamonde6374 What a magnificent response. An invitation to visit is the best way to overcome any hesitation. Your pride in Galicia is well founded. Thank you so much for weighing in and sharing the beauty and exceptional elements of your region. We loved Vigo and know we haven't seen enough!

[@klle3419]

did she say columbus discovered? 😂 for a travel blogger you would think she would try to be educated on basic english and basic history. clearly he didn’t discover anything - there were full on people there living already

[@welltravelledlife]

Yikes! Taking full responsibility for that blunder!!! Totally agree. Columbus stumbled upon the continent and the indigenous populations who had been there for centuries. Good catch and thanks for helping us do better.

[@Alice45894]

No need to be so rude about it, you could gave corrected her and left it at that....she obviously didn't have any I'll intent.

[@welltravelledlife]

Thank you for understanding. We make mistakes - more than we'd like to, and it's painful to have them be ones that are insensitive and incorrect. But we are really grateful for people giving us the benefit of the doubt and allowing us to apologize. Thank you for your presence here.
