Ria de Vigo – Tag my Fish

The Ría de Vigo is the southernmost of the Rias Baixas. Within the overall ria there are two separate areas: the San Simón Inlet and the Ria of Bayona. The main river to join with the Ría de Vigo is the Verdugo. Out to sea, the Cies Islands are associated with the ría. Their location in the ocean near the mouth allow for the protection necessary to have a safe port. In addition to the port, the Ría de Vigo contains many marinas. The coastline within the Ría de Vigo has two distinct parts. The upper and inner areas are calm, while the southern coastline contains more turbulent waters.
