Parque do Castro, Vigo, Spain

 16 July 2022

Since I had my friend visiting, a visit to my favorite park was a requisite.

This architectural gem is in town, not in the park, but I always love looking at it when I pass by. 

 

Also passed along the way: Monumento a los Caballos (Monument to the Horses), Plaza de España.

Life in the small details.

The rest of the photos are at Parque do Castro, which is the site of a former military fort overlooking the sea.

I saw this amazing striped butterfly, would have liked to get a super close-up photo but this is as close as I could get before it flew away.

Cuuuuute statue!

View out from one of the miniscule (and I mean I couldn't even stand up inside) guard towers.

Parque do Castro is not to be missed if you come to Vigo; it's peaceful, the views are gorgeous, and the grounds are well kept. There is even a little bar/cafe if that is your thing.
