Vigo Castle
Facade of a roofless building, Casco Vella, VigoPraza de Espanha and Gran Via
The centre of modern Vigo is the expansive Praza de Espanha, a huge traffic island. It's not partuclarly beautiful, but in the centre is a striking sculpture of wild horses galloping up into the sky. It is something of an emblem for the city.
Leading back down towards the sea, Gran Via is one of Vigo's main shopping streets. At the bottom, another of Vigo's statues attracts photographers...the Monumento al Trabajo, known as Los Pescadores (the Fishermen)...a bunch of fishermen who look like they are hauling their nets full of fish from the middle of the pavement.
