CarMalaga.Com Tip: More about Vigo |
| In the 16th century
its port was a point of important international trade. The raids of
Drake, which affected the city, also gave rise to many other struggles,
whose turning-point came with the Battle of Rande and the sinking
of the Galleons of the Indies. Later episodes of war marked the life
of Vigo during the War of Independence. In the 19th century, the city
was a provincial capital for some time. More importantly, its industrial
and commercial achievements have made it a pillar of the Galician
economy. The Neo-classical Collegiate of Santa Maria and the urban
centre with its harmonious combination of quiet streets and broad
avenues, all deserve a mention. Another suggested visit is the Quñiones
de Lean Museum, which holds some important collections, mainly of
paintings. Not to be forgotten are the splendid views over the ria
and the nearby Cíes Islands, that can be seen from O Castro,
the A Gufa and the A Madroa. |
