I'm back on track with my trips and my posts and my everything after several crazy weeks!
Two weeks prior to feel the Spanish sun again, nothing feels better than evoke good memories from my last trip to Galicia.
Having lived in a small city for entire life (want to discover more about it? Click here!) and having spent my four years of university in two fantastic and, again, small, cities, I am a "small-city" person. Peace is what we need to lead a happy life, and small cities are a source of this peacefullness without any doubt.
Now, I can also add to my "small-but-incredibly-beautiful-cities" list Vigo (Pontevedra, Spain). Its coast, its harbour, its boats, its decimonomical and french inspired buildings, and its nature (and its clean streets, I was surprised by its impolute tideness!) made me falling in love with this city.
Today, I wanted to share these impressions with you and also share some recommendations to take the most of this place.
Enjoy!

ITS IDYLLIC COAST
ITS UNEXPECTED NATURE
Extra notes!
If after reading the post you also want to love 3 (and more!) things about Vigo, then I have some final recommendations for you! You will discover a great place to stay during your trip and two wonderful places to enjoy Galician food. Ready?
WHERE TO STAY
If a 3 star hotel is what you are looking for, then, I highly recommend Hotel México. This hotel is right on the centre, near the train station and near El Corte Inglés and other shops. If you are lucky, your room will have views to the sea! I was especially impressed by the buffet breakfast and by the kindnes of its staff.
Hotel México,
Vía del Norte,10 - 36204
Vigo, (Pontevedra)

WHERE TO EAT
If you are looking for some vegetarian food don't hesitate and go to Restaurante Albahaca (increidbly close to México Hotel and Hipanema Hotel). You won't be able to choose between their delicatessen vegetarian cuisine.
Calle Ecuador, 89
36204 Vigo (Pontevedra)

If you fancy a "typical" Spanish place to have an Albariño and some tapas (order red meat and fish, you won't regret) Cervecería el Puerto is your place. Facing the coast, this place is the perfect stop after having explored Vigo. If you travel alone, don't worry, this bar probably has the most cheerful waiters of all Vigo!
