Sit back and enjoy the ride up to El Castro Hill for a panoramic view of Vigo Bay and some wonderful photos, which might even include your ship in the harbour.
Driving through the city, admire the elegant facades of the Plaza de Espana and Plaza de America, keeping your camera ready as your friendly guide points out many important landmarks along the way. You’ll see the statues of the Wild Horses and the eight-metre-long Bronze Fishermen before stopping to stretch your legs. Wander through the stunning French-style gardens of Castelros Park, home to a recently restored 16th-century palace, which now houses a museum.
Feeling peckish? Unwind at an exclusive hotel on Samil Beach and soak up the atmosphere. Enjoy a delicious selection of traditional Spanish tapas with wine, coffee, tea, and soft drinks, while admiring the stunning views.
