Castrelos Park

---

Castrelos Park is Vigo's biggest and nicest park that is filled with gardens, ponds, an old castle, museums and tons of other nice outdoor-sy things! Miriam had to study yesterday so I decided to tag along, catch my daily nap out in the sun and do some walking around for what I call "Todd Gill" photo ops! The park is beautiful and considered one of the nicest gardens in all of Spain come Autumn time.

Mid afternoon around siesta time and after work the park is packed with young kids feeding the ducks and old Spanish people playing cards. To see the 80 year old plus men and women sitting around playing cards reminds me of something out of a movie. I was able to fake a pic of something else and catch a threesome heavy into a card game but even the pic doesn't do it justice. Something about all these grandparents just hanging out together, playing cards all day long seems so "real."

This park is just another great part of the city of Vigo. Vigo is a nice sized city with high rise condos, big buildings and bustling streets but dead in the center of it sits Castrelos Park. You can go right from the busy streets to the beautiful, historic park in two minutes. The old stone walls and rustic park benches prove just how old Castrelos Park is. It was a good relaxing afternoon!!!
