Walking in Vigo, Spain - What to Do on Your Day in Port

Our ship was detoured due to bad weather to Vigo, Spain. We walk through town and up the hill to Castelo do Castro.
Vigo is a city and municipality in the province of Pontevedra, within the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain.
This was recorded in September 2018.

Enjoyed your video! Thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed it. I’m from San Francisco and walk the same streets of Vigo at least once a year. I was dispatched there for a project in 2000 and fell in love with an Española. In 2005 we married, in Vigo, she moved to the States, and we spend as much time as we can visiting her family. I really enjoy walking the streets as it’s a serious walking city...as is most of Spain. We’ll retire there in the near future.

Thank you for your detailed video. I came to Vigo from Turkey for a couple day last year. Came to life in my mind again. I couldnt forget the sculpture which name is El Sireno. I saw it in night i was very frightening.

[@PortMonkeys]

We record about 95% GoPro cameras This video would’ve been made on a GoPro Hero 7. Of course, we now use 9’s & 10’s. GoPro just released the Hero 12. The rest of the time we use iPhones. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

Para nada, mas feas son Ourense o el Ferrol, por no hablar de tantos pueblos horrorosos, destrozados por el feismo gallego y el desarrollismo mal entendido. A mi me gusta como ciudad, sin duda la mas cosmopolita de Galicia y con diferencia, el no ser capital le imprime un caracter que no tienen las demás.
