About Vigo

Vigo is the gateway to Galicia, Spain's lush, seafood-obsessed northwest corner. The port sits right in town beneath an old fishermen's quarter, but most cruisers head out to the medieval walled town of Baiona, the wild Atlantic Islands national park, or even south into Portugal. Galicia's misty hills, rías (fjord-like inlets), and legendary shellfish make it a refreshingly different Iberian port.

Insider Tip

Vigo is all about Galician seafood — find Rúa da Pescadería (Oyster Street) for a dozen fresh-shucked oysters and a glass of Albariño. With a long day, Santiago de Compostela is the bucket-list trip; Baiona is the easier, prettier short option.
