Parque Monte del Castro
South of Vigo's Old Town, this is a quiet, stately park with sandy paths, palm trees, mossy embankments, and stone benches. Atop a series of steps are the remains of an old fort and a mirador (lookout) with fetching views of Vigo's coastline and the Islas Cíes. Along its shady western side lies the Castro de Vigo, the remains of Vigo's first Celtic settlement, dating to the 3rd century BC.
Reservations required for Castro de Vigo and guided tours are available for groups of three or more, as well as for the fortress.
