Wandering around the region of Galicia
So there's a theatre right by my house, and I've come to realize that I literally live right in the city center. I had originally picked my place because it was the cheapest one, had a nice room, and seemed relatively close enough to my school. I had no idea it would be less than a 5 minute walk to the porto de Vigo, the old town casco viejo, bar central churruca, and the main shopping strip calle prinicipe. I honestly lucked out with this one, and am so happy I chose to live here. It seems very safe and so close to everything--from going out, to main attractions, and best of all, my school! Anyways, the secretary at my school told me I could bring a friend along to el teatro garcía barbón if I was interested in attending an event over there. I had heard the theatre was beautiful and he had extra tickets--so why not? The secretary told me to meet him 30 mins before the show to give us our tickets, but I got there a little bit later so he quickly gave me the tickets and dashed. When the curtain opened for the show to begin, there was the secretary from my school all suited up with about 100 other singers and 40 musicians. I didn't realize he was part of the orchestra and felt horrible for making him wait! It was a beautiful concert though and the place reminded me of a smaller version of the Kennedy Center. They played famous songs like con te partiro and apaga la luz y verás. Going to a concert like this made me realize how there is so much about Vigo I have yet to discover -- growing up in D.C. I never really took full advantage of my surroundings and honestly rarely go to the city area when I'm home. As my time here will end eventually, I will take advantage of everything Vigo has to offer! Your truly, TLT

Hey TLT! I have really enjoyed reading your blog! I am going to be an aux in Moaña (just got my visa yesterday) and plan on living in Vigo. Can you tell me the name of your apt. Complex or maybe if you have the contact info of your landlord? Thank you in advance!

Hey! It's a really old building so there are some issues, but if you're looking to live right in the center of the city it's a good deal. This is not the name of the whole building but the apartment itself is called Mellow House! You can contact them through this e-mail to see if there are any rooms available: [email protected]
