Our first (and last day) in Spain at the port of Vigo. As we have to be back on board by 3.30, we had an early breakfast and on Spanish soil by 9am.
We got directions and a map to the old area of the city. How come the old areas are always up hills and away from the port area?
Either way, it wasn’t too bad a walk and we had to stop for cappuccinos on the way, just to refresh ourselves and confirm with the locals that we were heading in the right direction.
Our navigation was spot on and after the break we headed up hill again and got to the fort at the top of the mountain.
The way back was all down hill, but we went sideways at times to see more of the city.
The streets were narrower than a lot of the streets we have seen. Cars were not banned from any streets and you had to be aware of the traffic everywhere.
A beautiful city! We are back on board now and I type this while Fay catches some “rays” on deck. I will go off the ship to an area in the dock where they have free wifi. Unfortunately the free wifi didn’t work so I will send this when we get a chance, which will probably be the Azores on Monday.
