🏞️Bouzafria Cascade - Vigo - Pontevedra - Galicia - Spain🇪🇸

📷GoPro Hero5 - ISO 100 - f/2,8 15 sec - ND Filter

🏞️Bouzafria is very close to where I live, just about 4 kilometres from Vigo’s downtown, in Bembrive. The river Eifonso forms the cascade with a fall of almost 4 meters.

🏙️Vigo is located on the Northwest of Spain, in Galicia, it is one of largest and most important fishing ports🎣 in all Europe🇪🇺 and is known for its freezing and canning industry🏭.

🏘️The name Vigo comes from the Latin word Vicus Spacorum (Small Village). The city is built over a hill-fort (Castro) and a Roman settlement. During the Middle Ages the small village🏘️ of Vigo was a part of the neighbouring towns, mainly Tui. Finally on the 15th century, Vigo was considered a real village but in the 16th and 17th centuries, the city was attacked⚔️ several times. Around 1578 the town had a population of 868, but the plague🐀 and the pirates🏴‍☠️ destroyed the town and killed almost all the people. In 1585 and 1589 the town was attacked by the English admiral (a pirate or corsair) Sir Francis Drake🏴‍☠️, he temporary occupied it and he left many buildings burnt🔥. In 1702 a British-Dutch fleet under Sir George Rooke and James Butler, Duke of Ormonde, destroyed a Franco-Spanish fleet in the bay during the Battle of Rande🧭.

🕛In the 19th century, the French🇫🇷 troops conquered⚔️ Vigo, but the popular resistance ended with the reconquest of the city and the French Army was expelled🛡️ from Vigo on 28 March 1809. It was the first city of Galicia to be freed from the French🇫🇷 rule.

❓Did you know that the first stapler was produced for the French king Louis XV in the 18th century but it was actually made in the Basque Country? The royal stapler was hand-made and came with a set of staples bearing the royal emblem on them.

"I stayed in this fabulous chocolate hotel in early October when I was walking on the Camino way. After a 10 mile day of walking, it was wonderful to get there and berated with a wine spritzer with chocolate shavings, delicious chocolate bar, and a beautiful hotel. The breakfast was included and was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this place. "

Wonderful stay!

"We were in Vigo for three nights on our way from Paris to Lisbon. This has been the best hotel we’ve stayed in. The room was spacious, with built ins and shelves easily accommodating toiletries and clothes. the Queen bed really comfortable and two pillows of different styles - very comfy. The first morning we were late to breakfast - but the supervisor made sure that the full selection was available - fresh orange juice (you see them being squeezed) reasonable coffee, fresh fruit, cereal, meats and cheese, tomato, toast, rolls, pastries - the lot. Meanwhile, every trip to explore, we checked ideas with the reception. They provided terrific advice - from using the travelator on Gran Via to get to Castro Park, to finding good places to eat. A thoroughly wonderful few days - unexpectedly excellent"

Open views and perfect location

"The property has huge bay windows and no buildings blocking your view of the estuary. It is by the Vigo Uzaiaz train station and taxi stand. There is an activity park across the street and a boardgame store on the same block. Easy walk to old town and Castelo do Castro"
