TRIP TO “LA GUARDIA”
If
you want to enjoy a day in a beautiful place in Galicia you have to visit La
Guardia. La Guardia is in the south of Galicia, really near Portugal. There
are over 10,000 inhabitants.
If
you don´t have a car to get there, the best option is take a bus at Vigo bus station (Avenida de Madrid, 57). You can walk from Plaza España. It's quite near. There are a lot of buses during the day but if you want to enjoy the day, the
best option is to take the 7:30 bus. The company of the buses is ATSA, you
can see the bus in the picture.
This
bus goes to La Guardia passing through Baiona. The views are amazing!
When
you arrive in La Guardia (at 9 o´clock) you only have to ask someone
where “Monte Santa Tecla” is; anyone can explain to you (La Guardia is
small).
In
this moment you have to start to walk because you have 2,8 kilometers to ascend
to the mountain, more or less 40 minutes.
But it´s worth doing it because when you arrive at the peak you will
see that view! The mouth of the “Río Miño” and Portugal.
And
Celtic dwellings too!
After
that, it’s time to eat and if you want to eat the best shellfish you have to go
to the port. You should go back down the mountain and then ask someone again for directions to “El Puerto”.
When
you arrive at the port I will give two options. Both of them are in
the same pedestrian street!
-
If you have money for a seafood platter the best option
is to go to “Maruxia” (Avenida Puerto, 29) you are going to spent more or less €30-40.
-
But if you don´t have a lot of money you can go to
take “tapas” in “El Puerto Guardes” (Avenida del Puerto 1). Here, €7 is going to
be enough and the food is amazing!
When you finish your meal, you can go
for a walk by the port. You can see how beautiful the port and the houses are.
Typical houses of a fishing town!
The day is over and you have to come
back to Vigo. (Although you can enjoy a Saturday night out here, because there are a lot pubs
to go out and the people are very friendly).
If you want to come back, you can take
the bus in the same place at 5, 5:30, 6 or 7! Be careful because at 7 p.m. the
last bus goes!!!
ENJOY YOUR DAY IN LA GUARDIA!!! J
