In 1665, the Castro Fortress was constructed to protect the city from continuous attacks by the British Navy. During that time, the Castro, the San Sebastian Fortress and the city wall were a strong defensive system of the city. This defensive system was not very much effective because it couldn't stop hostile interventions. At present, the fortress has become a famous tourist attraction because of beautiful gardens, open spaces and superb views.

There are a lot of steps if you visit this spectacular fort directly from the town. The lower part of the climb is supported by some ascending escalators. The view from the top is worth the climb. The fort is very historic with its gun mountings and its ambiance of quiet and beauty, which belies its massive military presence over the anchorages and town. In addition the very old settlement dating from 3AD is also worth a view, but it may not be open when you get there. It is clearly visible from the road.

Everybody should come to Vigo this magic winter as it will be full of wonderful lights of thousands of different colours. The Mayor has challenged the major cities in Spain to try to reach the numver and magnificency of Vigo's display of artificial snow, millions of leds and even the "Frozen 2" village, a worldwide wink that will put our city on the map of the most attractive European cities this year. So, come and enjoy the street food market in the Alameda and all the local "bars" and restaurants where you can try the freshest and juiciest seafood in the world.
