When we have little time to visit a beautiful city, we always try to visit the old and new areas of said locality. Today I had the privilege of traveling to the north of Portugal, exactly in the northwest of Spain, towards the community of Galicia. There is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, recognized for its famous lighting events on Christmas Day. And of course, I am referring to Vigo. Between labyrinths, squares, landscapes, and large buildings, I bring you a post to show you its most beautiful side.⛵🏢
cuando disponemos de poco tiempo para visitar una linda ciudad tratamos siempre de recorrer las zonas antiguas y modernas de dicha localidad, hoy tuve el privilegio de viajar hacia el norte de Portugal exactamente en el noroeste de Espana hacia la comunidad de Galicia, alli se localiza una de las ciudades mas bonitas de Espanas reconocidas por sus famosos encendidos de luces en las fechas natalicias, y claro!!! me refiero a Vigo, entre laberintos, plazas, paisajes, y grandes edificios te traigo un post para mostrartes su lado mas bonito.🌳🗺️
My experience from the beginning🧭🚩/Mi experiencia desde el comienzo🌍
First tip: (bring lots of change) because parking in Vigo is the most complicated thing I've seen!! Look, they have private parking, but it's expensive. You can spend more than 20 euros a day on parking, so if you're going on a low-cost trip, you should be aware of this! What we did was go to McDonald's, leave the car there, visit everything we had planned, and on the way back, we had dinner there! You have to use money to validate your exit ticket at the restaurant! Didn't that seem like a good strategy to you? Hehe, from there everything was less than 3km away.⛔
Primer consejo: (trae muchas monedas) porque estacionar en Vigo es la cosa mas complicada que vi!! a ver, ellos disponen de estacionamientos privados pero son costosos puedes dejar mas de 20 euros en un dia en estacionamiento, asi que si vas con intenciones de un viaje "lowcost" debes estar atento a esto! nosotros lo que hicimos fue entramos en mcdonald's dejamos el carro alli, fuimos a visitar todo lo que teniamos planeado y de regreso cenamos alli! tienes que consumir para validar tu ticket de salida en el restaurante! no te parecio una buena estrategia? jeje, desde alli era todo a menos de 3km✍🏻😋
Our first stop was to climb "Monte Castro" where we can locate the castle and/or fortress, this is a huge hill over 100 meters high where what was once the castle and is currently a fortress is located, I already published about it so I recommend you see my post! However, I think the best from here are the views, we can even appreciate the small islands in the river, we can make a stop and rest, after the fortress we will visit: "Castro de Vigo" some very ancient ruins of the first people who inhabited the city.🏢⛵
Nuestra primera parada era subir el "Monte Castro" donde podemos localizar el castillo y o la fortaleza, esto es una enorme colina con mas de 100metros de altura donde se posiciona lo que una vez fue el castillo y actualmente es una fortaleza, ya publique sobre ella por eso te recomiendo ver mi post! sin embargo creo que el top de aqui son las vistas, hasta podemos apreciar las pequenas islas en el rio, podemos hacer una parada y descansar, luego de la fortaleza vamos a visitar el: "castro de vigo" unas ruinas muy antiguas de las primeras personas que habitaron la ciudad.🗺️🧭
Visit to the Castro de Vigo🧭🚩/Visita al Castro de Vigo🌍
Iron Age👨🏻🏫
Vigo is as old as any other city in Portugal or Spain itself. It was inhabited as early as 3,000 BC by a prehistoric culture who built these very rudimentary houses. We have this space where we can walk among the "replicas of houses" and at the same time photograph the ruins directly. This is almost always closed; you have to be very lucky to find it open.🌍
Vigo es tan antigua como cualquier otra ciudad de Portugal o misma Espana, fue habitada ya en el 3mil a.C por una cultura prehistorica quienes hicieron estas casas muy rudimentarias, tenemos este espacio donde podemos caminar entre las "replicas de casas" y a su vez poder fotografiar las ruinas directamente, casi siempre esto esta cerrado, debes tener mucha suerte para conseguirlo abierto.🌄
I was doing some research and just like what happened in Portugal, the area was later occupied by the Romans. Well, actually, the Iberian Peninsula belonged to the Romans. And it strikes me that when we visit places like this, it's not all about apartments and decorated streets; there's also a great backstory!🧭🗺️
Estuve investigando y tal como sucedio en Portugal la zona luego fue ocupada por los Romanos, bueno en realidad la peninsula iberica pertenecio al poderio Romano, y me llama la atencion que cuando visitamos lugares asi, no todo son apartamentos y calles decoradas tambien hay una gran historia de fondo!🚩😋
Why Visit Vigo?🧭🚩/Por que Visitar Vigo?🌍
It has always been known for being a port, especially the outlet of the Vigo River to the Atlantic! And that made it a very important city throughout Spain for trade. It has beautiful beaches, history, and good cuisine. The prices aren't too high; I'd even say they're similar to those in Portugal. That's why you have no excuse not to travel to this beautiful city!🗺️🧭
Siempre fue conocida por ser portuaria, destacando la salida del rio de vigo hacia el atlantico! y eso la hizo una ciudad muy importante en toda espana por el tema del comercio, presenta muy lindas playas! historia y una buena gastronomia, los precios no son muy elevados hasta diria que parecidos a Portugal por eso no tienes excusa para viajar a esta hermosa ciudad!✍🏻👨🏻🏫
Walk through the streets🧭🚩/Paseo entre las calles🌍
I think the number of tourists in Vigo depends on the time of year. For example, I visited after the Christmas lights, and the streets were much emptier, with few tourists. I felt quite safe! We never felt threatened. Of course, it wasn't nighttime and we were in the city center. Spain is much more dangerous than Portugal, but in places like this, you can wander freely. We decided to try some sweets.✍🏻🧭
Creo que la cantidad de turista en Vigo dependera de la epoca del ano, por ejemplo yo la visite luego de las luces de natal y las calles estaban mucho mas vacias, habian pocos turistas, me senti bastante seguro! nunca nos sentimos amenazados, claro no era de noche y estabamos en el centro, Espana es mucho mas peligrosa que Portugal pero en sitios como estos puedes andar a voluntad. Decidimos probar algunos dulces.🚩🏢
I don't know if turrones are typical of Vigo, but we discovered this small shop and bought several to take home as souvenirs.🍧🍩
No se si los turrones son algo tipico de Vigo pero descubrimos esta tienda pequena y compramos varios para llevarlos de Souvenir.🍪🎂
We used the escalators to go up the street because it's quite steep, hehe. Among the things they recommend, Casco Vello or "old town" and also the historic quarter. I think I visited both today, but I have no idea which is which, hehe, because the city is too big! There's an area that's just apartments and really has nothing attractive about it. I think that's the modern area!😋😮
Utilizamos las escaleras rodantes para subir por la calle pues es bastante empinada jeje, entre las cosas que te recomiendan Casco Vello o "viejo" y tambien el barrio historico, creo que visite ambos hoy no tengo idea cual es cual jeje porque la ciudad es demasiado grande! hay una zona que son solo apartamentos y en verdad no tienen nada atractivo creo que esa es la zona moderna!🚙🏰🏢
Would I return to Vigo?🧭🚩/Volveria a Vigo?🌍
It's unfair to rate a city in just a couple of hours, clearly Vigo has a lot to offer, in my short experience I have the feeling of coming back, that's why I would repeat my trip to the city. I couldn't try its gastronomy but that would be something I have to do! When we are parents we have to improvise xD, we don't have much time, visiting museums is also something I would like to do!😋😮🚩
Es injusto calificar una ciudad en solo un par de horas, claramente Vigo tiene mucho para ofrecer, en mi corta experiencia me quedo la sensacion de volver por eso si repetia mi viaje a la ciudad, no pude probar su gastronomia pero seria algo que queda pendiente! cuando somos papas tenemos que ir improvisando xD, no tenemos mucho tiempo, visitar museos tambien es algo que me gustaria hacer!🏢🚙
