Vigo Stop 17 of 20

Carreiro dos Muíños

The millers' path drops down to Samil beach, Vigo's front porch, with the Cíes islands on the horizon. From there the best way into the city is to follow the Lagares river walkway upstream rather than fight the traffic.

The drop to Samil is Vigo’s front porch. From the beach, take the Lagares walkway up: it keeps you off the road and into Coruxo with less tarmac.
