 Wild Horses Sculpture by micas_pt
This bronze sculpture honours the wild horses that run across unspoilt Galicia, and it was created as a tribute to them. You can still find wild horses around Vigo's hills. Every year there is a ceremony in which these wild horses are marked - the curros (festivals) of Mougás and Torroña.

"Quinones De Leon" has sheltered the towns art, archeology and history since 1937. The museum was built inside a 17th century "pazo" or Galician country house where nobles used to live.
The house was founded by Benito de Tavares, whose tombstone can be seen on the capel floor. The family crest presides the main facade of the country house. The family lived there throughout the 18th and 19th century. In the late 19th century, the Marquis de Alcedo and his son decidedto restore and expand the house turning the old country house into a beautiful aristocratic palace.
On the lower floor of the museum, severl rooms have been rebuit reproducing their old architecture. The majestic double staircase is perhaps the most outstanding piece preserved from the original parts of the building. The first and second floor are now halls in which one can follow the evolution of Galician art.

 Pulpo, National Dish of
Galicia by Shabu
While we all ate and drank, we were entertained by local folkloric bands and also enjoyed a band of gaitas, "Tromentelo".
It was a good time to taste all the wonderful fresh and savourful food that abounds in the waters around Galicia.
This is the 3rd succesful year of Vigomar and hopefully it will continue each year in the early part of September. Address: Port of Berbes

 by montxitoLeave a Comment Directions: The islands are a mountainous granitic formation. The western area -opposite the open sea- is steeper than the one leading to the inner part of the ría and, as a result of its high salinity, arboreal
