    Después de tantas visitas al magnífico monte Do Castro,hemos visitado las galerías subterráneas que próximamente se abrirán al público. A pesar de no estar finalizadas las obras van a ser otra atracción maravillosa más.

    Una vista muy especial de Vigo y la ría. La subida tiene desnivel pero es asumible y la vista compensa el esfuerzo.

    Best spot, to see the sunset in Vigo! You can see all of the ocean, the Cies Islands, the bridge! I totally recommend it to everyone. Don't go without a cerveza! For picknick with your friends, it's the best as well!! Also, you can run and do sports around it, the best to do in the sunrise or sunset;)

    Be warned this is not for the feint hearted, lots of steps, but I believe there is a pathway to the top, the views are great, no 🚾 or cafe that we see, Have noted there is a cafe but reviews are not favourable 😬

    Un lugar flipante o espectacular para caminar, pasar un rato, solo o acompañado o en familia, desde allí se pueden hacer fotos espectaculares de la ciudad de Vigo, sus edificios, sus muelles, las islas Cíes, la ría... Tenéis que ir a visitarlo....

    Great views of Vigo got lucky with parki g as this is limited so would advise an early visit. Nice cafe on site as well for refreshments afterwards 👍

    At the top of the mountain, right in the middle of the fortress that crowns it, some walls from the 17th century that today are the best vantage point of Vigo and the estuary to the Atlantic Ocean. Within these walls are the castle of O Castro and its gardens, as well as sculptures such as the monument to Vigo by Camilo Nogueira or the tribute to the medieval poet Martín Codax. Walking down the paths bordering the fortifications towards the historic quarter, you will come to a new vantage point where the Rande Galleons Monument is located.. It consists of anchors and various cannons that were found from three of the dozens of ships sunk in the Vigo estuary during the Battle of the Rande in 1702, when the Anglo-Dutch fleet and a Spanish fleet escorted by a French collided. Very interesting place, a gem in history.

    A bit of a hike, lots of steps but doesn't take as long as you think it will to reach the top. Totally worth the effort for the amazing views at every stop.

    Great view from the river and the city.

  • 4/5 Alex Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Great views of the city, the Ria and the islands. Go at sunset for maximum impact. You can walk from the old town, but it may leave you tired. Alternatively, you can drive up there, but parking is limited.

    Amazing and wonderful Parque.. so worth the visit if your visiting Vigo or even living in this alluring City with its charm and stunning scenery on offer!!

  • 4/5 Rui P. 2 years ago on Google
    An escape from the hussle of the city centre. Nice place for a walk and great view of the city.

  • 5/5 Rafael V. 1 year ago on Google
    As good of a view as suggested :) Not many parking slots available at the very top (around 3 or 4 as there was some construction going on) but you can always try. If not there is plenty of parking space nearby. Lovely view over the harbour and the city, totally worth visiting. If you are sporty running or walking to the top and back is definitely worth it and the pathway will make sure that cars will not hit you ;)

    A leisurely walk in the sun. From its peak, you can view part of Vigo's coast. Do note that a can of coke at the Cafe / bar is 4 Euros.

👍👍 Beautiful forest where you can spend the night or have a drink in the cafeteria. You can find a loose animal out there, but without danger if you disturb us.
