What we did
We woke up and were in Spain, our first stop! We headed to the Tuscan restaurant onboard where they offer an “Elite Continental Breakfast.” Because we are diamond level rewards passengers on Royal Caribbean, we receive a somewhat equivalent benefit of “Elite” status on Celebrity. This was a quieter venue which we liked. They offer granola parfaits which we both had and enjoyed along with fresh fruit and pastries. After breakfast, we got off the ship and walked into town.

Vigo is a coastal city in Galicia, northwestern Spain. It is a fishing port and offers stunning Atlantic Ocean views. We headed out ambitiously and climbed approximately 400 steps to Castro Fortress. Up there, we enjoyed beautiful 360 degree views. The fortress has been built over existing buildings which date back to the 3rd to 1st century BC during the iron age.

While exploring Vigo, we stopped at Tapería Stefany for a tapas lunch, sampling some classic Spanish favourites. We enjoyed a tortilla (Spanish omelette made with potatoes), spicy chorizo, ham croquetas, gambas (prawns) and a glass of red wine. After lunch, we walked around town a bit, but didn’t get the “old town” feel we thought we would as we found it quite modern. However, it was a pleasant enough outing and we walked through a nice park and got to see a little of Spain before continuing on our journey to Florida. After returning to the ship, we took a siesta. As we were still full from our lunch in town we decided to get a small bite up in the Oceanside Cafe. They have an incredible selection of things to eat and were not busy, so it was much more enjoyable.
