  • Vigo Travel Guide & City Information

Located on Spain's western coast just north of Portugal, the border city Vigo and the outlying area are home to some of Spains most beautiful scenery. For centuries, the fishing industry fueled the citys economy; however, recent oil spills have limited the amount of sea life present along the western Iberian coast, consequently forcing the people to find other work.



In addition to the Spanish language, natives of Vigo speak Gallegan, a dialect which originated centuries ago because of heavy interactions between the Spanish and Portuguese peoples along the border. For that reason, there are large Portuguese and Brazilian influences in the city.
