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 😅 Thanks a lot for your feedback 🤗
@@aventuralina The problem is that with the Internet the secret is more difficult to hide. XD. I didn't know your channel and I've already seen 4 videos. I love it. Keep up this great work. Greetings from RAINY Santiago de Compostela.
@@alvaroperezmartin3574 I feel a bit guilty now 🙈 Thanks a lot for your feedback. I really appreciate it a lot and it means a lot that someone from Galicia enjoyed my videos in Galicia 🥰
@@aventuralina They are spectacular videos, waiting for the day you can return and tour Santiago, Coruña, the Ribeira Sacra, the Costa da Morte. I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot ....and so will we!!
Calling an entire city "cute" feels a bit condescending to me, a vigues of many generations. Ours is a beautiful city, as the nice host of the channel notes here.
I’m sure you won’t! There’s a lot of people doing the Camino. I’m sure you’ll make some friends 😊 Enjoy it a lot! It’ll be an unforgettable experience!
Summer and 29ºC is a perfect combination to enjoy the numerous beaches that are found along the shore of the 'ría' (bay). Thanks for such a recommendable video.
One of the most beautiful things you can see in Vigo is the sunset in Samil Beach. The sun sets between the two Cíes islands leaving the sky with a wonderful colour palette... A perfect end for a journey day in Vigo. Some other places to visit may be the "Castrelos" park with the "Quiñones de León" pazo (palace). Other interesting thing is the quantity and quality of the mural paintings. All along the city you will find walls of four or five floor buildings with massive paintings all over the wall, from the floor to the roof. I'm from Vigo and you're invited to come back whenever you want! Nice video!
Thank you so much for your feedback and your kind words! I can imagine that the sunset at Samil beach must be the perfect ending of the day 🤩 Also thanks a lot for the recommendations! I will definitely be back to Vigo and to Galicia in general as I really liked it and had an amazing time 😍
There’s often confusion about the weather in Vigo. Despite the high rainfall, it has over 2,500 hours of sunshine annually, much more than Hamburg’s 1,500. Vigo’s climate is closer to Porto’s than to Coruña’s, where it rains more frequently even if the total rainfall is similar. In summer, it’s the sunniest and driest coast in Galicia, and after summer, it often experiences pre-drought conditions. It’s not very cold either, with an average temperature of around 17ºC. Data confusion arises because weather records are taken from the colder airport station, which has a different climate from the city. Thank you for the lovely video and keep it up! Greetings from Vigo! :)
Thanks a lot for the clarification about the climate! Vigo sounds even better now 🤩 I really liked the city. It’s beautiful and - unlike Barcelona - not overcrowded 😅 I had a really good time in Vigo and will hopefully explore more of Galicia 🤩
When the sun shines we go to the beach! 29° is hottish in the summer but we have days when the temperature heads into the 30s. The rain tends to be more of a “problem” in the winter but just look at the beautiful green countryside! 😁
That totally makes sense! The weather was just perfect for a beach day. At that moment I had just started my tour through Vigo and didn’t know yet how many stunning beaches there are not far away from the center 😍 Rain clearly has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages clearly is that it makes the landscapes more beautiful and green. The area is spectacular 🤩
Thank you for this video. I dock my sailboat at Marina Davila every year and enjoy isla cies!! Really enjoy Galicia area , Albarino and Tempranilla from this area so much!
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.

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...

Te faltó visitar el parque Quiñones de León, más conocido como parque de Castrelos en el cual hay un pazo y ahí en verano hacen conciertos al aire libre....Me ha gustado tu video y que hayas estado en mi playa favorita la del Vao....😁
La playa del Vao también fue lo que más me gustó 🤩 Me alegro mucho que te guste el video. Gracias por la recomendación! La próxima vez también iré al parque Quiñones de León 🤩
16:10 is the afterlunch time, at this time we like to relax still at home, go to that main street (principe street) around 18:00/19:00 and it will be full of people ;) I am glad you visited my city! :D
That totally makes sense! Actually, when I returned at around 7pm, there were way more people there 😁 I’m glad I visited your city! It’s really beautiful 🤩
I am from Vigo but currently I have been living in Ponteareas for more than a year I only go to Vigo to visit family, shopping or so, unfortunately the rents went up a lot which made many people go to other cheaper areas. Vigo is beautiful and has everything but nowadays in summer quite a lot of people and not to mention in winter with the Christmas lights it is full of tourism. For my taste, being from the city I prefer a quieter life, apart from the fact that immigration has also risen, especially Latin American immigration. We will see how it grows in the coming years and if it continues to be so quiet to live in or if it is going to become a small Barcelona.Greetings!!!
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
I think Europes rainiest city is actually located in Norway. So you aren’t wrong about that 😅 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! 😍
OK, excellent 🙌 I'm surprised that I'm not wrong in saying that Norway is the place where it rains the most 😅 It's a shame that the beaches of the European Atlantic don't get warmer as the summer goes on but you're right, the beaches are stunning anyway 👍 Yesterday I watched the Euro Cup match between Germany and Denmark and it was 2-0 in favor of Germany, I congratulate you! 😅
@@antonioadventure86 Sir, it is not the beaches that are not warm but the water itself. The sand is quite warm in our city in summer. It feels quite toasty and comfortable. Meanwhile, thank you for complimenting our city.
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.
Thanks a lot for your comments! I really appreciate the correction about O Berbés and the information about the fish market ☺️ I haven’t been to Saiáns Beach but I guess I will put that on my list for my next visit 🤩
Congrats for the video, Alina. By the way, the center of Vigo would be full if you just go there after 19h. In a day like that one, early afternoon, most people would be at the beaches.
Thanks a lot! 🥰 And yeah, it totally makes sense that people rather stay at home or on the beaches during mid day. And you are right: when I came back later at around 6 or 7 pm there were a lot more people in the center 😍

Galicia has very interesting places, the well-known city of Santiago de Compostela, the city of Lugo and its Roman wall, the city of La Coruña, which has the oldest active Roman lighthouse in the world, the Ribera Sacra, a mountainous area with a navigable river, with a slightly sinister air, Galicia is a land of legends of witches and spirits, it is a very beautiful region in the North of Spain.
Yeah, later on I also realised that 😅 I live in Barcelona and the center is always crowded, no matter the time, day or heat. So I guess I just got used to that and really appreciated that Vigo was much calmer 🤩
@@aventuralina At the same time someone mentioned quite correctly that there is a proportion of locals from Galician cities and larger towns who also spend holiday time - be it weekends or the whole summer season - in their family’s original homes out in the country somewhere. This is also applicable in Catalonia but it’s not so noticeable in places like Barcelona due to the much greater influx of tourists.
@@m3photo726 yeah, I always feel like Barcelona never gets “emptier” 🥲 Of course you notice that there are less locals in July and August but then the invasion of the rest of Europe is hitting the city 😅 I enjoyed Vigo because of its still very local charm. It is a really beautiful city ☺️
Good of you to showcase Vigo, but how long have you been in Spain? In Spain cities are quieter in the afternoon, people relax (in Vigo, probably at the beach or in the countryside) before going out early in the evening when cities come alive.
Of course what you say is totally right and I also should have realised that people are on the beach in the afternoon rather than in the city when it’s hot outside. But I live in Barcelona and I tend to forget about that as I am so used to the city being overcrowded no matter the weather or hour of the day 😅 It was really nice to walk around Vigo so peacefully ☺️
Ay amiga, Vigo por la tarde en esa calle céntrica en verano y a 29º C está vacía porque la mayor parte de su gente está en las playas, a unos 5km de donde tu estás hay una playa muy famosa, Samil, vas allá y verás como no cabe un alma. Otro grupo de vigueses en playa américa, y la mitad restante en las playas de la península del Morrazo.
Ya me di cuenta luego 😅 Creo que estoy muy acostumbrada de estar en una ciudad que siempre está llena, no importa el clima. Vivo en Barcelona 😉 por la tarde Vigo estaba más llena 😁
Seguramente la gente estará en las playas. Mucha gente tiene casa de veraneo en la zona de Nigrán y se queda un poco vacío los fines de semana sobre todo en Julio y agosto,
Desde Vigo salían los barcos con los migrantes gallegos hacia Buenos Aires, mis padres salieron de allí en los 50, estuve en casi toda Galicia, hay mejores playas que en el sur, pero el problema es el agua fría por eso no van los extranjeros, las islas Cíes te van a encantar y hay que subir al faro para una hermosa vista.
Creo que habían muchos migrantes de Galicia a todo sur América. Todavía tienes familia allá? Hay muchas playas bonitas en Galicia, y en mi opinión vale la pena visitar Galicia. Claro que el agua es frío, pero en ningún otro lugar de España se puede disfrutar una playa con tan poca gente 😅
@@aventuralina Vivo en Buenos Aires, llevé a mis padres para que volvieran a sus pequeños pueblos de Lugo y Orense a recordar, tengo familia en BS As y en Madrid, te recomiendo que conozcas La Coruña una de las ciudades más linda de España, en 1986 estuve en tu ciudad Hamburgo, hermosa ciudad 👍👋

Además, cada vez que se muestra la belleza de Galicia ya estáis los asturianos al quite. Quedaros con vuestros maravillosos Picos de Europa, y dejad que Galicia muestre su maravillosa costa.
@@aventuralina, creo que no te has dado una vuelta por toda Galicia. Más de 15 maravillosas Rías, más de 900 playas, Ribeira Sacra con los ríos Sil y Miño entre montañas llenas de bosques, viñedos y monasterios e iglesias medievales; A Coruña con su Torre de Hércules, la muralla romana de Lugo, las islas en medio de las Rías, seis catedrales, gastronomía de carnes, pescados y mariscos única, etc. Y coronándolo todo: Santiago de Compostela, capital de Galicia y ciudad patrimonio de la humanidad. Un saludo desde Compostela.
La climatologia de Vigo es la mas benigna de Galicia y un de las mejores de España. En cuanto a la lluvia, no es cierto que es la cuartaciudad con mas lluvia, más bien al contrario.
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.
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! 😍

Of course I heard of Vigo 😂 You foreigners really make strange questions, like someone asking you “hey, did you ever heard of Utrecht?” RUclips in all its glory 😅
Generally speaking, northern Spain climate, excluding a couple of months in summer, is very bad, lots of rain, cold, humidity, fog and you´ll barely see the sun. Southern Spain is way better.
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.
Thanks a lot for your recommendations about other historical places of Spain. I will definitely continue my travels through Spain at some point :) I personally liked the city center of Vigo a lot and found it super beautiful. But I also noticed that outside of the center the architecture changed a lot. I still liked it though ☺️
That's not true. As a galego speaker I can tell you we understand Portuguese very well, at least the Portuguese spoken in the north of Portugal (Viana do Castelo, Porto...). The writing in Portuguese is a little different with the 'ç' letter, but you can translate in both ways galician/portuguese with very few rules. There are small differences in pronunciation but nothing compared to English, for example.
@@GuDeLJiTo that‘s what I thought and understood as well. I do speak Spanish and therefore reading Portuguese is even for me partially possible and I felt the same about Galician. So thanks a lot for the clarification here 😊
@@GuDeLJiTo Spanish speakers understand fair well portuguese too. Is similar, instead Galician is almost identical to spanish (portuguese... is not almost identical). U can see anything written in Gallego and is almost as if u read it in Spanish. This fact does not happen with portugese. But in reference to that u say "no true", I have been in Galicia several times and three diferent unrelated "gallegos" from the country side, who spoke Gallego as mother tongue told me that I wrote in the first message: we dont understand each other good (portuguese-gallego).
París, Londres, Santiago de Compostela, cualquier ciudad de Irlanda o Escocia.... NO. Vigo NO es la 4ª ciudad más lluviosa de Europa. Por lo demás, gracias.

@@m3photo726 yeah, I always feel like Barcelona never gets “emptier” 🥲 Of course you notice that there are less locals in July and August but then the invasion of the rest of Europe is hitting the city 😅
I enjoyed Vigo because of its still very local charm. It is a really beautiful city ☺️
hello i am looking at properties in northern spain could you reccomend a few nice cheap areas and towns please.
Hi, sorry, I can’t help you with that as I am not from the north of Spain, neither have I ever lived there
@@aventuralina ok thanks. interesting video though
Vigo is a chapter of the book: twenty thousand leagues under the sea.- jules Verne-
Good of you to showcase Vigo, but how long have you been in Spain? In Spain cities are quieter in the afternoon, people relax (in Vigo, probably at the beach or in the countryside) before going out early in the evening when cities come alive.
Of course what you say is totally right and I also should have realised that people are on the beach in the afternoon rather than in the city when it’s hot outside. But I live in Barcelona and I tend to forget about that as I am so used to the city being overcrowded no matter the weather or hour of the day 😅 It was really nice to walk around Vigo so peacefully ☺️
Ay amiga, Vigo por la tarde en esa calle céntrica en verano y a 29º C está vacía porque la mayor parte de su gente está en las playas, a unos 5km de donde tu estás hay una playa muy famosa, Samil, vas allá y verás como no cabe un alma. Otro grupo de vigueses en playa américa, y la mitad restante en las playas de la península del Morrazo.
Ya me di cuenta luego 😅 Creo que estoy muy acostumbrada de estar en una ciudad que siempre está llena, no importa el clima. Vivo en Barcelona 😉 por la tarde Vigo estaba más llena 😁
A xente si que sabe
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤gode day
What month of the year was this video made?
I’ve been there in June, right at the beginning of the month :)
Seguramente la gente estará en las playas. Mucha gente tiene casa de veraneo en la zona de Nigrán y se queda un poco vacío los fines de semana sobre todo en Julio y agosto,
Entiendo. Esto tiene sentido. Con este calor también es lo mejor que se puede hacer 🤩
Desde Vigo salían los barcos con los migrantes gallegos hacia Buenos Aires, mis padres salieron de allí en los 50, estuve en casi toda Galicia, hay mejores playas que en el sur, pero el problema es el agua fría por eso no van los extranjeros, las islas Cíes te van a encantar y hay que subir al faro para una hermosa vista.
Creo que habían muchos migrantes de Galicia a todo sur América.
Todavía tienes familia allá?
Hay muchas playas bonitas en Galicia, y en mi opinión vale la pena visitar Galicia. Claro que el agua es frío, pero en ningún otro lugar de España se puede disfrutar una playa con tan poca gente 😅
@@aventuralina Vivo en Buenos Aires, llevé a mis padres para que volvieran a sus pequeños pueblos de Lugo y Orense a recordar, tengo familia en BS As y en Madrid, te recomiendo que conozcas La Coruña una de las ciudades más linda de España, en 1986 estuve en tu ciudad Hamburgo, hermosa ciudad 👍👋
@@zimbasur9760 que lindo! Me encanta que llevaste a tus padres para que conozcan sus orígenes 😍
Fui a La Coruña hace dos años y también me encantó! Es una ciudad muy linda 🤩
Y me alegro que también conociste a mi ciudad 🥰
Viajaste mucho! 🤩
@@aventuralinaHace cien años los gallegos emigrabamos a la Argentina, mientras que los Irlandeses emigraban a USA. Pasado el tiempo,se comprueba que los irlandeses tuvieron mejor suerte que los gallegos.
You are on a hot Saturday afternoon in one beachside city and asking why there are so few people on the streets ? On the beach of course... 😄
It totally makes sense 😅 I have no idea why this didn’t occur to me 😂🙈
Muy bonito Vigo en verano! El resto del año no tanto 🫣😅 🌧️ ☔️
Creo que yo tuve mucho suerte 😁
pues gracias a que llueve en invierno(que es cuando tiene que llover) hay agua y no pasa como en cataluña o andalucia con problemas de sequía.
@@deadbysetas5727 totalmente! Cosas buenas de tener lluvia!
Go to #Cudillero in #Asturias. After don't miss #Aviles. ❤️
Asturias es mi lugar favorito en España 😍 Gracias por las recomendaciones 🤗
Comparar los 2.500 kilómetros de costa de Galicia, con más de 15 Rías maravillosas y más de 900 playas con la costa de Asturias, no tiene sentido. Además, cada vez que se muestra la belleza de Galicia ya estáis los asturianos al quite. Quedaros con vuestros maravillosos Picos de Europa, y dejad que Galicia muestre su maravillosa costa.
@@aventuralina, creo que no te has dado una vuelta por toda Galicia. Más de 15 maravillosas Rías, más de 900 playas, Ribeira Sacra con los ríos Sil y Miño entre montañas llenas de bosques, viñedos y monasterios e iglesias medievales; A Coruña con su Torre de Hércules, la muralla romana de Lugo, las islas en medio de las Rías, seis catedrales, gastronomía de carnes, pescados y mariscos única, etc. Y coronándolo todo: Santiago de Compostela, capital de Galicia y ciudad patrimonio de la humanidad. Un saludo desde Compostela.
Xa estades os asturianos metendo o calzo cando estase loubando algo ou algún lugar de Galicia. Asturias moi bonita, pero Galicia é o paraíso.
La climatologia de Vigo es la mas benigna de Galicia y un de las mejores de España.
En cuanto a la lluvia, no es cierto que es la cuartaciudad con mas lluvia, más bien al contrario.
La lluvia en verano es una pequeña bendición!Quien le diera lluvia al resto del país en verano!
Rain?? England. Oh god. Check. A huge
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.
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! 😍
Bendita la lluvia en verano,que limpia y REFRESCA todo el ambiente!!
Time of "siesta". Or people are at the beach.
That totally makes sense ☺️
people don,t go out if it,s hot, every year it gets hotter, in the afternoon whem it,s less hot day go out and drink a beer
That totally makes sense 😁
Que pena que el video esté hablado en Lengua extranjera aunque vemos que está traducido al Castellano (Español).
Mus abuelos maternos eran Gallegos de la Provincia de Lugo.
Felicitaciones desde Olavarría, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
16 10 siesta jajaj better 20 00 to 24 00
Makes sense! Later on it was more crowded 😁
@@aventuralina thanks
Of course I heard of Vigo 😂 You foreigners really make strange questions, like someone asking you “hey, did you ever heard of Utrecht?” RUclips in all its glory 😅
You said the word, 'Beautiful', 636 times in the space of 14 minutes.
Sigh.
Yeah, I definitely need to work on that 🥲
@@aventuralina Tu propia belleza lo compensa con creces
buenas imagenes pero comentario repetitivo y pesado.
Dejennos en paz no turistas
Generally speaking, northern Spain climate, excluding a couple of months in summer, is very bad, lots of rain, cold, humidity, fog and you´ll barely see the sun. Southern Spain is way better.
Southern Spain is the complete opposite I guess 😅
😂😂😂
Es lo bueno que tiene el Norte,que así no esta masificado!!
Entre un invierno con mucha lluvia y un verano con 40 grados,yo no me quedo con ninguno!
@ yo prefería los 40 grados 😅 Pero entiendo bien que no es para todo el mundo 🙈
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.
Thanks a lot for your recommendations about other historical places of Spain. I will definitely continue my travels through Spain at some point :)
I personally liked the city center of Vigo a lot and found it super beautiful. But I also noticed that outside of the center the architecture changed a lot. I still liked it though ☺️
That's not true. As a galego speaker I can tell you we understand Portuguese very well, at least the Portuguese spoken in the north of Portugal (Viana do Castelo, Porto...). The writing in Portuguese is a little different with the 'ç' letter, but you can translate in both ways galician/portuguese with very few rules. There are small differences in pronunciation but nothing compared to English, for example.
@@GuDeLJiTo that‘s what I thought and understood as well. I do speak Spanish and therefore reading Portuguese is even for me partially possible and I felt the same about Galician. So thanks a lot for the clarification here 😊
@@GuDeLJiTo Spanish speakers understand fair well portuguese too. Is similar, instead Galician is almost identical to spanish (portuguese... is not almost identical). U can see anything written in Gallego and is almost as if u read it in Spanish. This fact does not happen with portugese.
But in reference to that u say "no true", I have been in Galicia several times and three diferent unrelated "gallegos" from the country side, who spoke Gallego as mother tongue told me that I wrote in the first message: we dont understand each other good (portuguese-gallego).
París, Londres, Santiago de Compostela, cualquier ciudad de Irlanda o Escocia.... NO. Vigo NO es la 4ª ciudad más lluviosa de Europa. Por lo demás, gracias.
Gracias a ti por ver el video!
So how much did the city of Vigo pay you to make the video?
If you know how to make a city pay you to create a RUclips video, please let me know. That would be a great tip to lower my travel costs 😅
@@aventuralina contact the tourism bureau.
@@mollistan, no hace falta promoción pagada. Vigo y Galicia se promocionan por su belleza y otras cosas muy interesantes.
Vigo is a real shit. Pontevedra city is the BEST.
