Travel guides and previous visitors can suply you with ideas about what sights you would enjoy visiting, but at least for me, it is equally important to know where to enjoy a the local gastronomy and of course, where to rest and gather energy for the next stage of the journey. As I did for Santiago, here you have my suggestions for Vigo.
This time let me suggest where to book your accommodation: Hotel Aguila, in Rua Victoria (just at one of the ends of Plaza Compostela). Excellent quality, better price, and spot on the center of Vigo. Not even 5min away from the harbour and old quarter. (there's also a very handy 24h supermarket around the corner).
About some place for tapas and home made meals, do not hesitate to go to the Bar Chavolas, in Rua dos Cesteiros. Or if you feel like having some Jamon, Chorizo, lomo, cheese... then try the Jamoneria Jaqueyvi, in Plaza Princesa.
If what you want is to relax in the early afternoon before resuming the sightseeing, try the coffee shakes (or just coffee) at Cafe Gretttel, in Praza Constitucion, while sitting under the archs observing people pass by.
Finally, and for a real sit down dinner or the best Mariscada (Seafood feast) in town, and at the best price, forget about the touristy restaurants close to the seafront, they would rip you off full time. Your best choice is, without a hint of a doubt, the Rias Baixas, in Rua Republica Argentina.
Enjoy your stay!!
