About
About Vigo
Vigo is a city and municipality, the capital of the comarca of Vigo in the province of Pontevedra in the autonomous community of Galicia, in Spain. Located in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, it sits on the southern shore of an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, the Ria de Vigo, the southernmost of the Rías Baixas.
Vigo is an industrial port with a large fishing fleet. It boomed under the Franco government, which made it a free-trade and development zone. The port and the Citroën car factory are its main industries. This hasn't spoiled the old town, Casco Vello, which climbs steeply from the harbour, while the modern town sprawls east and west. The climate is dominated by the Atlantic, mild and rainy.
