Iglesia de la Virgen Peregrina

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

Built in 1778, its location is such that it is externally one of the most impressive churches in Pontevedra, facing onto the Pza da Peregrina. A stopping point for pilgrims who were having their documents stamped here, the church plan is in the shape of a scallop shell and the shells are incorporated into much of the decoration. Otherwise, compared to some of the other churches, the decoration is quite restrained, with your eyes drawn upwards into the dome, and thence to heaven.

Parque Monte del Castro

Reviewed By koekw - Velez-Malaga, Spain

While visiting Vigo we parked at monte del Castro. The castle is nice to see as well the 360 views on the city. The park is nice. The stairs leads you to the old city centre which is currently fully lighted for Christmas. The walk is around 8-12 minutes.
