Nuestra guía, Silvia, fue encantadora. Nos reímos, aprendimos muchísimo, nos recomendó lugares cercanos. La explicación tan buena de los lugares y los monumentos te trasladaban a la época y se disfrutaba el doble. Completamente recomendable para aprender sobre la historia de Vigo, su pasado y su presente. Muchísimas gracias por la amabilidad y la paciencia de Silvia con todas nuestras preguntas.
