Water Sports
The shoreline of Vigo runs for 23 kilometres, seven of which are beaches. The remainder is made up of a mixture of port activity like shipbuilding, markets, docks, the marina, and of course the area where the great ocean liners dock.
The Port of Vigo is one of the most important fishing ports in Europe and the world, both for fresh and frozen fish, and a large number of coastal and deep-sea fishing vessels unload at the market here. The produce is later sent on to other cities in Galicia, Spain and the rest of Europe, and even the rest of the world.
There is also a growing amount of traffic from cruise liners. The city receives thousands of visitors from some of the biggest cruise ships in the world, such as The Queen Mary II, The Queen Elisabeth, and The Oriana among others.
Vigo and its bay also offer a great range of leisure and water sports activities at the different marinas and the water sports centre at Vao beach.
