What To Expect
Colexiata de Santa Maria de Vigo
The Co-Cathedral of Santa María is an impressive Gothic temple located in the heart of Vigo, Galicia, Spain. Built in the 17th century, this church stands out for its imposing architecture and its rich religious and artistic history. It is an important landmark in the city, where visitors can admire its majestic columns, vaults and works of religious art while immersing themselves in the spirituality and beauty of this emblematic building.
Its name refers to the traditional craft of basket makers, who used to have workshops in this area in times past. This street is lined with old Galician-style buildings and houses with colorful facades, which gives it a particular charm. Along Rúa dos Cesteiros, you can find small shops and artisan workshops selling local products, such as wicker baskets, ceramics and other handmade items. In addition to being a place to buy crafts and souvenirs, Rúa dos Cesteiros is also a quiet and picturesque street where visitors can stroll and enjoy the traditional Galician atmosphere. It is a point of interest for both tourists looking to explore local culture and locals who appreciate the history and craftsmanship of their city.

5.00Alex was our experienced tour guide in Vigo, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the moment we met him, his passion for the city was clear. He shared fascinating stories about Vigo’s history, its people, and its hidden corners that we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge was matched by his warmth and sense of humour, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and engaging. By the end of the tour, it felt less like we were being shown around by a guide and more like we were exploring the city with a friend who truly loved it.
Make Vigo come alive with Alex as your guide!
