Vigo, the fishing city

Vigo is Galicia’s fishing city. Fishing activity in the port of Vigo generates 6,000 direct jobs, and 357 local fishing companies turn over more than 3,000 million Euros a year. It’s clear that we like fish, right? If you like it as much as we do, you’ve probably eaten fish from the port of Vigo dozens of times. The largest quantity of fresh fish in Europe enters the port of Vigo.
