Tui
From Vigo, take the scenic coastal route PO552, which goes up the banks of the Miño River along the Portuguese border, or, if time is short, jump on the inland A55; both routes lead to Tui, where steep, narrow streets rich with emblazoned mansions suggest the town's past as one of the seven capitals of the Galician kingdom. Today it's an important border town; the mountains of Portugal are visible from the cathedral. Across the river in Portugal, the old fortress town of Vallença contains reasonable shops, bars, restaurants, and a hotel with splendid views of Tui.
