Imagine concluding the day by strolling through lit Vigo with a cup of hot chocolate in hand, having visited a walled market, a castle, or a winery.
Vigo decorates for Christmas every winter. Its lights, massive tree, and festive mood draw thousands of tourists. But the magic doesn’t stop there: Vigo’s environs contain hidden gems of history, sea, and tradition that will make your vacation even more memorable.
Galicia Original offers three excursions from Vigo that will perfectly complement your visit to the Christmas lights. There are three ways to experience Galicia’s most true, dazzling, and accessible side.
🕍Tui and Valença: History and Cross-Border Charm
Few events better capture the relationship between Galicia and Portugal than a day spent between Tui and Valença do Minho.
Tui, with its Gothic church and mediaeval core, welcomes you to enjoy a leisurely stroll through stone and history. Valença, located across the Miño River, is a charming town with a walled enclosure, craft stores, and a festive atmosphere, especially during Christmas.
From Galicia Original, you will explore two cultures and two places that share history and the Christmas spirit in one tour.
