Up And Down A Kid s Guide To Vigo Spain

Beautiful Vigo, Spain is known for being one of the biggest fishing ports in the world. Situated in Galicia, the northwest of Spain, Vigo has its own interesting history and culture; and it has its own official language, which is "Galician". Vigo is full of historic buildings, and the old intermixes with the new. The statues in the roundabouts are as interesting as what you will find in the hills in a place that our guide called Castro, where you can see more of the old and learn more of Vigo's history! (A castro was a fortified, usually pre-Roman settlement. And some castros date from the late Bronze and Iron Age, and offer the oldest research associated with the Celtic culture!)
