Vigo, Spain at the dock side June 2011 nearly a year ago now!

I, loved walking round the dock side seeing the cruise ship from a different perspective whilst the others walked around in the sun, which was far to hot for me, this photo was taken from the top of a large seating area, allowing views across the dock and the shopping area, shown in the first few photos of this series. 

VIGO Spain last visit on land before sailing home. June 2011 Cruise

The city of Vigo is situated on the slopes of Monte del Castro in the Northern Spanish province of Galicia.


This was the view that greeted us on the early morning arrival in Vigo Spain, after an early breakfast we ventured ashore but not far as to hot for me, my wife and friends ventured into the many streets.


I have 14 photos to share with you all this time, however have decided to post one at a time trying to tell you something about Vigo.. The building with the colourful lettering we found to be the Metropolitan Shopping Mall looking on to a small square with a large Head and Neck statue also a marina.
