Teis

Teis is a neighbourhood of sea and mountains, working-class and charismatic. Before Vigo became a port of huge ships, the fishermen’s wives climbed the A Guía mountain at night to light fires and help their husbands return home safely. Teis feels like the fishing village it was in the past; an area crowned by the beautiful A Guide Mountain and the A Nosa Señora das Neves chapel. This is your chance to discover one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Vigo. Surrounding the mountain, we find the small beaches of A Manquiña, A Fábrica, A Lagoa, Cala do Faro and A Punta. Heading the south, we can visit the beaches of  Ríos - Etea, Ríos - Pilón, Ríos - Rampla, O Mende and A Suacasa.

Currently, Teis is one of the most populated neighbourhoods; it offers a varied selection of traditional commerce around Sanjurjo Badía Street, as well as its own food market.

Although fully integrated into the city centre, this parish boasts three green areas: A Madroa, A Guía and A Riouxa, where remains of Neolithic and Celtic cultures have been found.
