Vigo

Galicia's largest city doesn't have much to offer the traveller, although many people come here to change trains enroute between Santiago de Compostella and destinations in Portugal.

Despite many travellers shooting through and seeing no more than the train station, Vigo does have a pleasant old town situated about a kilometre west of the train station as well as a castle which overlooks the city from Parque do Castro.
