City of splendour. The gateway to the Atlantic and one of the most fascinating places in Spain, this thrusting metropolis sports beautiful beaches, a thriving fishing industry and a renowned Museum of Contemporary Art. Considered by some the most important city in the region of Galicia - a place that has a very distinct language and culture, different from elsewhere in the country - there is an enormous amount to enjoy here. Start your first day by experiencing Spain's famed cafe culture. Those who love fish will be spoilt for choice - some of the best fruits of the sea can be found here. While the modern parts of the city have their charm, Old Vigo is certainly worth a wander, despite its hilly location. Then there is the aforementioned Museum of Modern Art, the beautiful Avenida del Castillo waterfront promenade and the Plaza del Pedra. Walking the city is the best way to get around - you never know what you're going to discover.
