My hometown

I'm glad proud to have been born in Vigo, Galicia.

Vigo is located in the southwest of Galicia. It's known for having a microclimate. While it's raining and freezing/cool in other Galician regions, we enjoy a good/milder climate. Nevertheless, do not forget that Vigo is in Galicia too, so the weather is not always marvelous.

Vigo is a seaside city. It's also known for having a very important port. A lot of big cruise ships make a stop in the city. For instance, Oasis of the Sea, which is the biggest cruise ship in the world, came to the port last year. Furthermore, a lot of companies use this harbour to deliver/transport their products all over the world.

The population in Vigo has increased a lot in last decades. This is partly due to the industrial power of the city, for example, there is the Citroën plant and all the other factories that provide services to it this one. Thus, some people from Orense, Lugo, and villages near Vigo came here to work.

In addition/ Also, do not forget our main treasure, the Islas Cíes. In February of 2007 the English newspaper 'The Guardian' chose the Rodas beach as the "best beach in the world". In November of 2013 the local government began the process to get declare the Islas Cíes being declared Heritage of Humanity as a Human Heritage site.

I strongly invite you to visit Vigo. or I recommend that you visit Vigo.
