Cheap flights from Edinburgh to Vigo from £73

Strolling around Vigo's port can not be complete without oysters. Pop in Cocedero Bar La Piedra on Rua Pescaderia, 3 street and do it. Oysters here taste better with Rias Baixas white wine.

You can opt for accommodation in the historical part of the city of Vigo to feel like in the Middle Ages. But since many of these buildings are more than one hundred years old, there is no heating in winter, and they may be damp despite high prices. In the area of Rua Urzaiz street, closer to the port, you will find modern hotels. The district is not so colourful, but you can find supermarkets, the El Corte Ingles shopping centre, and a parking space nearby. The hotel rooms here are more spacious.

Buy a whole pork leg in the supermarket and ask the staff to cut it into pieces and make vacuum packs. It is cheaper than buying ready-made vacuum-packed pieces, and it is convenient to take with you in a suitcase. Slicing jamon is quite pricey, but the staff will do it for you free of charge.
