Introduction

Virtual Tour of Vigo Urban City Centre and Fashion District

Come and join two local guides on this walking virtual experience, you will have the chance to get to know the Galician culture through the urban city streets of the fishing city of Vigo! Discover the biggest city of Galicia, Spain, an ideal destination to explore the dramatic Galician Coastline and learn about the fishing industry of the region. With its excellent restaurants, bars, museums, nightlife, and shops, the metropolitan city of Vigo has a lot to offer to its visitors. The autonomous region of Galicia is renowned for fashion designers in the garment industry, in addition to the fishing industry. Amancio Ortega's Inditex is one of the world's largest fashion distributors, with eight commercial brands (Zara, Pull and Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho, Zara Home, and Uterqüe) that you will see on this tour. Roberto Verino and Adolfo Dominguez are also two other popular and important Galician designers. We will walk through the streets of the fashion shopping center in the new part of the city, ascending the Rua Principe (considered one of the busiest streets), Rua Urzaiz, and the Avenida da Gran Via, the main street into Vigo.

A Modern Metropolitan City

Go up virtually on the recently inaugurated and award-winning "Vigo Vertical" ThyssenKrupp Elevator Ramps all the way up the main street of Vigo, Gran Via. The whole structure is made up of six mechanical ramps that are shielded by a custom cover that mimics the colors of the rainbow. These ramps connect different neighborhoods of the city and range in length from 9.6 meters each one reaching up to 48 meters, it can move between 6,000 and 7,300 people every hour through the center of the city. 

Admire Landmark Monuments while walking the city street!

On this live virtual tour, you will also have the chance to see bronze monuments like the statue of Manuel Castro, a very loved man in this city, sculpted by a well know Galician sculptor from O Morrazo, Jandro Rodríguez, on the Rua Principe (Prince Street). Reaching the top of the Gran Via after going up the ThyssenKrupp Elevator Ramps we will make a stop at the Plaza de España to admire the statue of Los Caballos (The Horses) sculpted by Juan José Oliveira, standing right in the middle of a roundabout welcoming the visitors that enter the city by car. The sculpture was built as a tribute to the horses that lived in the mountains of Vigo (like the ones that lived in Monte Castro).  

A wonderful virtual tour of Vigo, a modern view of the city, walking through its urban streets!

Sean is an excellent guide. Always making sure we know all about his tour. He is passionate about Galicia and its foods. He sets up great postcard shots too. Today we saw an octopus being prepared for eating. It looked amazing!!

A wonderful introduction to Vigo by Sean and Tiernan. A mixture of old and new in art and architecture, quite beautiful. And a fascinating observation of octopus tapas at the end. What fun!

Another wonderful tour by the father and son combo! I´ve never seen a live octopus until today. I have learned something new from each one of your tours.

Knew nothing of Vigo prior to the trip, Sean and his son had put together a varied, interesting walk around the city, with plenty of accompanying information. The finale of the boiling of the octopus was amazing! booked on the later trip to see the lower part of town and the port, can´t wait! Thank you, really enjoyed it.

Fascinating tour with well-chosen historical photos at two points. Stunning new multi-coloured travelator on Gran Via to save the legs! A lovely ending learning how octopus is cooked and prepared. Lovely tour!
