Vigo is situated in Northwest Spain on the Atlantic coast. It is less than 25kms from the North Portuguese border in the Galicia region, and unlike many other areas in Galicia, boasts some of the driest and sunniest weather conditions to be found in the region. If you are looking for Spanish property located close to a beautiful city, breathtaking scenery and forty sandy beaches, Vigo is the place for you!
Vigo is a classical city. It has a population of some 300,000 residents and is packed full of wonderful architecture, including Romanesque and Gothic structures. The city is coastal, being located on the Ria de Vigo inlet - one of four making up the Ria Baixas. Lining the shore in this privileged position is some exclusive Vigo property.
The beaches around Vigo are very popular with tourists and residents alike. Most are small and sandy, truncated in places by spectacular rock formations that plunge into the sea. The view from many of the beaches takes in Cies Island - a breathtaking island surrounded by pure white sandy beaches and home to one of Europe's most important nature reserves.
Spanish property in the Vigo area is relatively inexpensive, especially when compared to the coastal regions in Southern Spain. In the city itself buyers will find apartments, town houses and hotel suites. Outside the city, the rural areas offer more choice of Vigo property, including ruins and plots of land that can be developed or used to site that dream villa in Spain.
