Etapa 21: Vigo

Today we traveled along the coast for almost the entire day. We passed people who were crabbing in an area that looked quite dangerous with rocks and large waves. Eventually, we made our way to the much calmer calmer waters of the bay of Vigo.

Vigo is the most important city in the region and there is quite a lot of industry based there. In the middle of the bay, are lots of platforms that apparently have ropes going into the water to grow mussels. Also, at the very top of the city, is an old stone Castillo used throughout history including as a defensive structure during the Spanish civil war.

We went to the top of the Castillo to watch the sunset set over the Atlantic. Truly stunning.

Most everyone left for dinner at 9:30, however after having joined the Spanish for several late and long dinners already, I decided to eat the rest of the food I had in my backpack and turn in early to be rested for the rest of the way to Santiago!Read more
