O Porriño es el corazón del sector industrializado de Galicia y lo ha sido durante siglos, la zona es rica en granito.

History

El hijo más querido de O Porriño es el afamado arquitecto Antonio Palacios. Era aficionado a utilizar el granito local como material de construcción, cuyo mejor ejemplo es el Palacio Municipal del centro de la ciudad. El apellido Palacios aparece en varios edificios y monumentos de la ciudad.

The Road

El camino sale de la ciudad por la N550. En el extremo norte de la ciudad, cruzarás una rotonda, manteniéndote a la derecha. Pronto la carretera pasa por debajo de la autopista, y el camino sale de la carretera inmediatamente después. Tras pasar por debajo de la autopista, busca a tu derecha un túnel que pasa por debajo de la rampa de salida. Te llevará a Ameirolongo.

We are staying here a day recuperating from injuries and have found everyone from the staff at Hotel Parque, the clerks at market, the used bookstore owner, the school children practicing their English in the plaza to be very helpful and friendly.

I was surprised but I agree with previous negative comments. We didn’t experienced any particular negative moments,but atmosphere in the city makes you feel uncomfortable somehow and you really willing to leave it as soon as possible.

I’m not quite sure where the negative comments are coming from about it not being a welcoming or enjoyable place to stay, but I found my stay here to be awesome. There were great restaurants with very friendly people and a vibrant community. The center Square had entertainment as did the main pedestrian/shopping road. I wish every town was this lively.

The place is incredible! The fridge was stocked with free beers, juice, water, and snacks. The bed was incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean. The space was vast and well-appointed, and the security codes on the locks were a convenient touch. We had an amazing time there and highly recommend it. The staff also suggested Restaurante Castro, where we had some incredible meals. The octopus and fish were particularly delicious.

We were not welcomed here. The staff at the cafe would not speak to us. We ended up leaving and staying in Mos where we were welcomed

O Porrino is a bit depressing, especially if it’s cold and rainy. If you can keep going past it, it gets much nicer. If you’re walking from Tui to O Porrino, definitely take the scenic route at the splitting of the ways (a few km out of Tui). It’s about 1.5km longer but is really worth it.

If I want to stay overnight in Vigo instead of Porrino, what are the most convenient way of public transportation?

As you leave O Porrino the edge of town has a walking bridge in construction but the markers do not give a good clear way to the detour.
