We'll then continue along Calle Príncipe and around Policarpo Sanz Square, strolling past shop windows, historical buildings and illuminated decorations. While soaking up the Christmas atmosphere, we'll learn about the evolution of Vigo, its commercial and industrial growth, and the traces that this prosperity left on its architecture.
We'll leave the wide avenues behind to head into the Casco Vello, the historic heart of the city. We'll stroll through its streets and squares, discover what old Vigo was like, and learn stories and fun facts about its inhabitants, their traditions, and its seafaring past.
