    We know that Galicia is not as famous as the Mediterranean, but it is better this way, we want to preserve the environment and nature without tourist overcrowding. The weather in summer is perfect, but it's our secret, I liked that in the video you say that it always rains ;). Spectacular work, thank you very much.

      I agree. You have a paradise up there that really shouldn’t get as overcrowded as the Mediterranean. I think this is what makes Galicia so special. It’s nature and the opportunity to fully enjoy it without thousands of people around you 🤩
      Well kept secret by the way! Everybody I’ve met from Galicia always told me that it’s always raining there. I guess that’s a good strategy too keep away the mass tourism 😅

    En Galicia, tenemos por costumbre cuando hace buen tiempo, salir de las ciudades e ir a los pueblos o aldeas, mucha gente tiene segunda vivienda en lugares pequeños, cuando a los niños les dan vacaciones en el cole, la gente va a esas segundas viviendas, por lo general casas de campo, o casas heredadas de abuelos, y en verano se ve menos gente en las ciudades.

    Just a few more comments: O Berbés is actually the neighbourhood below the sidewalk terrace where you were walking. The fish market is an amazing spectacle (Hemingway visited and wrote about it), but you need a permission to enter there. Regarding beaches, I agree with you with preferring O Vao compared to Samil, but Samil has amazing views and an absolutely gorgeous sunset. One of the most beautiful beaches in Vigo, if not the most beautiful, is Saiáns beach, the last one of the city going towards the south. It has Cíes islands right in front, superb sunsets and a bar with great views from the terrace.

    Nice video 👌 how beautiful is the city of Vigo 😍 its buildings, its clean streets, its beautiful yacht marina make it a beautiful city in addition to having a beautiful landscape seen from the height of the castle, its beaches are beautiful, it's a shame that the beaches in the Southern Europe are a little cold but I imagine they get a little hot as the summer progresses. I was also impressed to know that Vigo is the fourth city that rains the most in Europe 😮 I imagine that the place where it rains the most in Europe is in Norway

    • @aventuralina

      Yeah, Vigo is a really beautiful city. I enjoyed it a lot! But since it’s on the Atlantic coast, I don’t think the water will ever warm up 🥲 But the beaches are stunning anyways! 😍

The city is perfect to get lost in... and super clean... I was amused by the 29 degrees haha ​​here in Margarita I would be wearing jackets (haha no no.. lie not so much but it wouldn't be hot for us), I'm still struck by the beaches They are cold... but I suppose it is due to ocean currents...

    The reason why downtown is almost empty with 29 °C is because almost everybody is at the beaches , sunbathing or having some beers at the nice " chiringuitos".
    Btw... might be the 4 th rainiest City in Spain ( I´m not sure about that..), but with one of the most " mild" climates of the Country, and with as many sunny days as some cities of the South, what entails that when it rains, it pours ! ( but not so many rainy days as Hamburg, for sure...). If so, we could not have such nice vineyards around . Thanks.

    • @aventuralina
      @aventuralina  Месяц назад

      Yeah, you’re most likely right about people being on beaches on such a beautiful day. That totally makes sense 💯
      About the rainy days… I always feel confused when I read these kinds of statistics. Because according to that Hamburg for example has less rainy days than Munich which is find very hard to believe. Or cities like Hamburg just feel rainier than others because when it rains it doesn’t stop for the rest of the day and even if it doesn’t rain, chances are still high that it’s grey which also doesn’t feel great.
      Anyways, I felt like Vigo has a much better climate than it’s reputation and I really enjoyed the city! 😍

    Is a city where a great part of the old architecture was destroyed (except the small center u are showing us wich is really beautiful). Later most building were built in a non personality modern style. For me is not a beautiful city in terms of arquitecture from the XIX century and prior 1940 arquitecture. To see nice cities in Galicia where the old parts are bigger: Santiago, Coruña, Lugo... in Asturias: Gijón or Oviedo, in Cantabria: Santander and in The Basque Country Bilbao or San Sebastian. There the part of the city from prior to 1940, the XIX century and before are really beautiful. Well preserved.
    By the way... Galician language is not similar to Portuguese, if u ask them, they will tell yoy that they cannot understand better than speaking spanish.
