LOCATION: Bottom of the Vigo ria, municipalities of Redondela,
Soutomaior, Vilaboa, Moaña and Pontevedra. SURFACE
AREA: 2,218 hectares. The Vigo sea surprises its visitors
with the inner placidity created by a river known as Verdugo. Green
is the plain which is revealed by the tides, rich in bivalve shellfish,
such as the Arcade oysters, and wintertime birds. This sea can also
be loved through literature: "cantigas de amigo" (medieval
love songs) and fiction by Jules Verne combined with the sunken galleons
of Rande. Even if it has a different environment, the island of San
Si man, in front of the beach of Cesantes (Redondela), is the centre
around which cultural tourism could be promoted in the future.
