OUR CONXURE TO MAKE THE BEST FREETOURS: Take a container and fill it with good HISTORICAL RIGOR, add two teaspoons of imagination, a pinch of theatricality, two twigs of emotion and suspense and water it with youth and enthusiasm. Mark it, they took it out of my hands, or was it from the broom?

Tour description

Do you know when Almendrado nougat created the famous song: Come Home for Christmas? 

This is precisely what the lights of Vigo represent, a journey through time that will make us nostalgic. From the early 19th century, through the roaring 50s, and ending in 2023, this is what awaits us on this Christmas tour. 

We will talk about the history of Vigo through its main protagonists, its lights. 

From the origin of the Christmas tree and its arrival in the city, the living nativity scene contests, midnight mass, gastronomy, and of course, we cannot forget our old customs, some of which remain intact while others have disappeared. 

A tour where we will talk about illustrious figures, theaters, casinos, and a myriad of ways the Christmas offerings of the time were presented, we will move from black and white to the colorful city of Vigo. It will not leave you indifferent! Taking this light tour has never been so fitting. 

And of course, we cannot miss the witches' spells, because we cannot understand Christmas without the lottery. 

We will end our tour at the port authority to get nostalgic and tell you that we hope you return next year. 

A tour unique and exclusively for those who truly love Christmas. Shall we start the carol at Puerta del Sol? (Like the year it was).
