What to see and do in Redondela'
“In Redondela I recommend a walking tour along the promenade of Cesantes beach, the main one in town. If the tide is low, its possible to approach the statue of Captain Nemo. These are several bronze sculptures that pay tribute to Jules Verne and his famous novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. This work by César Portela is located in the Vigo estuary, so the divers below can only be seen when the tide is low.
At sunset, you can admire the French-style Alameda in front of the Town Hall or sit down for a drink in one of the charming Redondela squares. One of the typical dishes to eat in the Vigo estuary are the "chocos de la ría en su tinta". In fact, the residents of Redondela are called "choqueiros".
