02/06/2016, VIGO.

You walk the streets and soon become aware that nothing makes sense here. As if put together by a blindfolded child. No character, no history,just sad old age. The old is old and ugly and awful,the new is even uglier and more awful. The port terminal is shocking,dreadful,it  matches the rest of this unloved city. In front of the terminal there are two statues of people marching into the building. How fitting. If the residents could,I am sure they would all want to run away from here. Unfortunately Vigo has one of the best natural ports in Europe,so many ships dock here and I know I will come many times yet, hoping against hope the city will grow on me,knowing only too well I leave as disappointed as after every previous visit. To me this gormless city is the ugliest city in Europe.
