Vigo is a megacity deposited on the Rias Baixas coves in southern Galicia, some 25 country miles from the border with Portugal. Full of top-notch places, geographies, sounds, tastes, recollections, and smells, one of Spain’s most lovely metropolises awaits you. 

 Positioned on Spain’s northwest seacoast, the city of Vigo is immaculately placed to get admission to the notable Cíes Islets, proper on the Atlantic seacoast. With a blend of determinedness and precipice- covers on the West and white flaxen shores on the East, you can trap a ferry and camp on the islet and without difficulty spend a day or two amongst nature. The atrocious strands correspond to Playa de Rodas, which is arguably one of the most exquisite in the world, and Praia de Figueiras, which is small but faultlessly formed.
