To the south of the Rías Bajas one finds Vigo, a city with a deeply-rooted fishing tradition that currently stands out as a modern city open to the world. Vigo is also known for its great maritime culture, which has shaped not only its streets but also its cuisine and its people. With a deep historical imprint, it has numerous archaeological Roman ruins and areas such as the Berbés, an old fishing district where the Cathedral of Santa María is located. 

Vigo, nicknamed the Atlantic Port, embraces in its river the Cíes islands with idyllic beaches such as Rodes, considered by many the best in the world. In addition, the city has beautiful enclaves such as Monte del Castro, with spectacular panoramic views of the city and special places such as calle de las Ostras (Oyster street), the best place to eat this shellfish that it is named after. 

La Plaza de la Constitution, the Old Town and its many terraces are a must see for anyone who wants to discover the true charm of Galician culture. The Museum of Modern Art (MARCO) and the exquisite mixture of architectural styles seen in its districts give shape to an amazing city, fit for all types of traveller.
