Islas Cies from Vigo Castle
Casco vella, Vigo
SirenoThe Castle part 2
Inside the castle proper are more gardens, filled with fountains and statues and bits of ancient ruin. There were many coach parties trooping through the gardens, taking quick photos before being whisked off to another vista. The rest of my family aslo passed by on their "Vigo Views" tour, although they didn't even have the chance to get out of the bus. If you happen to be on a cruise, and are tempted by a coach tour of Vigo, don't bother...most of the old town is pedestrian, the rest of the lanes too narrow and twisting for coaches, so the best of Vigo is ignored by these tours. Do it on foot...Vigo isn't that big, and it doesn't take long to climb up to the castle from the port.
Anyway, back to the castle. It isn't so impressive, but there are nice views of the city and over to Cangas on the opposite side of the bay. But it is free to enter the gardens and park.
