The City of Vigo

A couple of days ago we drove up on a hillside and had a breathtaking view of the city of Vigo. I took a few pictures and thought that I would post them here. I had to shrink them down to get them to fit so they don't do it justice but you can still see what a beautiful city it is.





This picture was taken looking to the West. You can see the Atlantic Ocean. There are two islands, Islas Cies, at the mouth of the bay that are connected by a strip of beach.





This picture was taken looking North. You can see more of the ocean. Vigo is the largest fishing port in Europe.





This picture is a little more Northeast than the last one.

Here is a little more info about Vigo:
