With more than 150 stores across Spain and Portugal, Primore Cosmetics (originally from Hungary)…read morehas a large retail specialty store in Vigo, Spain. Primore focuses on cosmetics, cologne, fragrances and accessories from all around the globe. It is absolutely packed with goods, and deserves a turn around, slowly navigating the crowded aisles. My wife had lost her hair bands early in our trip, so she bought some replacements costing 1 to 2 euros. The IVA tax is 21% in Spain, and is included in the listed price. Checkout was a cinch, using a credit card.

I find myself visiting Casaplanta four of five times a year for projects and a few more just to get…read moreideas for my next planing project. The staff are very helpful and are patient with my language handicap. They are also very knowledgeable about plants for the space, lighting and care commitment (or lack of like when I travel and leave my plants in the care of others...). I also enjoy the slower season as I get a bit of a history lesson from some of the more knowledgeable staff. Lots of planting equipment and tools, fertilizer, pots, watering systems, you name it it is most likely here. Casaplanta also offers full service design, installation and maintenence so if you are looking for landscape architechts this just may be your best bet.

Situated across from a really nice park the outdoor seating in the summer or on a nice day/evening are fab. It is also located very close to old town so as the other review stated, it's a good place to meet and start from.

Before a big Friday or Saturday night out in Vigo, my friends and I always go to a few bars or…read morerestaurants for a drink and the complementary tapas that are always served with each drink. As my friend Maruxinha would say, it's like getting a free dinner! Cafeteria Maracaibo was one of our first stops on our bar/ tapas hop for the evening. It is conveniently located along the Praza de Compostela, which is very close to all of Vigo's most happening discos and clubs, and therefore makes the cafeteria an attractive place for a low-key drink or bite to eat before dancing the night away. It's also a fantastic place for people-watching; Vigueses (the proper term for people from Vigo) young and old stroll along the plaza for a relaxing evening walk on a beautiful summer day. If the weather is nice, definitely make it a point to be seated outside on the plaza! All we ordered were a few glasses of Albarino; the food that was brought with our drinks was so substantial that it was absolutely unnecessary to order from the regular menu. We were presented with a large basket of fresh bread (and Galician bread is the best there is in the world...I get so hungry just thinking about the crackly crust and the airy and fluffy interior) and each of us received a substantially sized plate of ternera gallega (some of the highest quality beef/ veal from the region) prepared in a red wine and onion sauce. It was a little overcooked and maybe not the best pairing with a glass of white wine, but it was just the fuel we needed to get us through an evening of fun and dancing. Our waiter was your typical man-of-few words Galician guy; he wasn't overly friendly, but he was always to-the-point and there when you needed him.
