Vigo:
Vigo is located in
Pontevedra, Galicia, in the northwest corner of Spain. Known as
Spain's largest fishing port and famous for its sheltered harbors,
Vigo draws a living primarily from its shipbuilding and fisheries
industries as well as its Citroën car factory. Vigo is one of the most
important fishing fleet bases in the world. Rich in culture and
tradition, Vigo offers an excellent setting for learning about the
cultures of Spain and Galicia. As one of Spain's officially recognized
autonomous regions, Galicia has two official languages: Castellano (Spanish)
and Gallego (Galician). Gallego is a language of Latin origin and
similar to Portuguese. Galicia's population is bilingual. Nearby
attractions include beautiful beaches and an unspoiled coastline as
well as the city of Santiago de Compostela, Christendom's third most
important site of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages.
