What our students said about Vigo
Public transport: quite well developed with an acceptable timetable. The bus station for regional buses is on the outskirts. Vigo card for urban transport (with reduced fares) is only available to citizens of the city. Tourists have to pay the full fare (currently 1.35 EUR/trip without the option to change trains). Climate: inconsistent weather. Rain can hardly be predicted. You don't need to expect excessive heat, rather a mix of sun and clouds. Affordability: relatively cheap for me; With every drink (including coffee!) there is usually a tapa, so that you don't really need a "main course". Public transport prices at the usual level in Spain. Shopping: not too many shops in the city center, the usual shopping centers a bit outside. Each district has its own small center with small shops.
It is a nice city, but you have to go relatively far to get to the green. What is very nice is to visit the islands. It is also not very far to go to Santiago the Compostela and to go to Porto in Portugal, but if you go to Porto, you need to stay there at least a night. There is so much to see. Santiago you can do in a day. it's about an hour by train and by bus.
Vigo is a ‘right sized’ city. It has great public and private transit to other parts of Galicia. It also has bus, train, and plane options to the rest of Spain and Europe. The seafood and food in general are fantastic.
It is a great place, the only downside is the public transport, that is really hard to use thanks to mere impossibility of buying tickets online, and quite often with the only option of paying in cash to the driver.
An interesting city with a good location by the Atlantic Ocean, easy to reach by bus, many good excursion destinations.
A very varied and exciting city; I liked the mix of old and modern, water and city life, with inviting beaches and sea.
It’s a great city for seafood and history. Great hiking and easy to walk because of the escalator systems.
Lovely town by the sea, lovely with the slopes, we took escalators and lifts up the town.
Vigo is a city with a high quality of life.

The director Alexandra is flexible and accommodating. Our main teacher, Alfredo, is excellent at working with adult learners. The Wednesday evening ‘Get Togethers’ were useful for putting our learning into practice.

Small classes. Teaching to the level required. Very nice, specially the excursions. For every level of "Spanish", the courses are adapted to the level of the students. Very recommendable.
It was definitely the nicest school we visited. It is perfect for communicating in Spanish.
