In the heart of Rías Baixas, Vigo is the biggest city in Galicia. With a strong working-class tradition of fishermen and industrial workers, Vigo is entrepreneurial and knows the value of hard work. Today, the city is modern and open, full of culture, monuments, history, cuisine and the unrivalled natural beauty of the Galician coastline.
Vigo has over 50 beaches, including the idyllic sands of the Cíes Islands, a natural park at the mouth of the Ria de Vigo, just a short ferry ride from the city.
Wandering the old town, you can discover Galicia’s culinary delights at Mercado da Pedra before marvelling at magnificent examples of Art Nouveau architecture between Porta do Sol and Alameda.
Vigo’s flavour blends the intensity of the Atlantic Ocean with the nuances of the countryside. Using the exceptional raw materials that reach their kitchens, the furanchos (bars in private homes) and markets prepare modern and traditional dishes and tapas.
Although shellfish has a special place in Vigo’s cuisine, dare to try other Galician classics like pulpo á feira (octopus), empanada de zamburiñas (scallop pie), churrasco (barbecued steak) and oysters.
The 56 beaches you’ll find in Vigo have something for everyone: from the beautiful wild coves that are off the beaten track in Saiáns, to wide sandy beaches for the whole family with all the creature comforts, like the well-known Samil Beach. Not to mention the incredible beauty of the Cíes Islands. But they all have fine white sand and crystal-clear (and cold!) water.
In addition to enjoying the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, these beaches are perfect for water sports like diving or, in some cases, surfing and stand-up paddle boarding.
